#Subreddit Rules

1.  Be polite and practice mutual respect. Absolutely no personal attacks, insults, or threats. No discrimination.

2. If you criticize, make it constructive criticism.

3.  Speak for yourself and not for others.

4.  Respect individual differences. Among other things, this includes differences of identity, experiences of having or not having gender dysphoria, experiences of transition, and the choice to be out or stealth.

5. No body shaming. This includes personal and general judgments about weight, surgeries, and appearance.

6. No trolling and no reposting of trolling and/or transphobic content. Trolling includes posts or comments meant to elicit controversy or drama.

7. Do not post information or photos of another person without their permission. Exercise caution when sharing personal information - this is a public subreddit.

8. Business advertisements are prohibited. We also are currently not accepting any research requests. Users selling items or relevant need at reasonable prices or users soliciting free/lost cost items may post in our monthly [Buy/Sell/Trade/Giveaway thread.](https://www.reddit.com/r/ftm/search?q=flair%3Arecurring%20Buy%2FSell%2FTrade%2FGiveaway&restrict_sr=1) Users fundraising may post in our monthly [Fundraiser thread.](https://www.reddit.com/r/ftm/search?q=flair%3Arecurring%20Fundraiser&restrict_sr=1)

9.  Flair your posts; Do not use the flairs "ModPost" or "Recurring" as they are reserved. If you edit content in a significant way, specify where you edited it. Follow Reddit's **[content policy.](https://www.reddit.com/help/contentpolicy/)** Some highlights: mark NSFW items as NSFW, do not post illegal content, do not create a new account to avoid a ban. 

10. Selfies, Selfie-similar pictures, graphical art, random pics of your cat and vocal range images may only be posted in the appropriate dedicated, recurring threads. [Check here for a history list of recurring threads sorted by new.](https://www.reddit.com/r/ftm/search?q=Flair%253Arecurring&sort=new&restrict_sr=on&include_over_18=1)  The only allowed pics are surgery related and product review related. Any in those categories should be well-marked with the relevant details and should not be advertisements in any   way. They are meant to be informative.
