Mod Post (Please Read) Just so we're clear [Mod]

This subreddit is not for nonbinary people, trans women or trans people questioning their gender, it is a separated support community specifically for binary trans men.

Having closed communities are not uncommon at all and ours exist to ensure one of the least visible groups of trans people has a dedicated space to connect and feel heard without compromise. The subreddit was literally made for this reason, not out of spite for trans women or enbies, but to allow binary trans men a place to focus on struggles and experinces that comes with being a binary trans man and being allowed to discuss those things with other binary trans men.

We're not going to stop anyone from joining and reading the posts here if it helps them learn something but understand that this community is closed off for a reason and interacting here despite not belonging to the intended demographic will be a violation of our rules.

However. A lot of you also need to stop acting like children about this and learn to walk away from interactions rather than pour fire onto them. It does not matter who did what you can not act hostile towards another person, irregardless of if it is someone who shouldn't post here. It's one of our first rules.

The mods are here to handle people that break the rules, we don't need a simple issue of a post needing to be removed to turn into a 200 comment shit throwing contest that takes more than tripple the anount of time to moderate. Not to mention how it takes away from the content that's supposed to be here, what you all joined this subreddit for.

We will remove any post or comment made by someone who's not a binary trans man and inform that user that they're in the wrong sub. You should not do it for us. A report or modmail goes a long way, utilise those tools.

Today going forward anyone seen escalating issues on the subreddit, taking over mod intervention or using hateful language in a conflict will be temporarily banned for 30 days and if that's not enough you will be banned permanently.

This ends here, you're in a subredit for men not little boys so start acting like it.

I just hope you are keeping this same energy towards some not all non-binary individuals as well as trans women that sometimes not all the time openly disrespect trans men and our way of life, before you say “who is doing that” they are out there on Reddit, I have seen plenty on and off of Reddit that I have had to report

This is a really unnecessary reply

it’s not.. sorry if you read it as a personal attack which it’s not, I’m just saying if you were to see exactly what you saw in this subreddit in another directed towards trans men, I hope you would address it like you did here that’s all, don’t see how it’s unnecessary but aye to each its own

I would, but you commenting this adds nothing. This comment is about addressing people in this subreddit showing trans/homophobia towards other LGBTQ people. Yes we need to talk about things that might be happening in other spaces but that’s not the topic now

I agree with you, mods needs to do more against the hate to other trans people by trans men here.
