Please also keep in mind that this subreddit is a safe space and we are not here to explain ourselves. **Attempts to debate on topics related to trans people or the trans experience such as; trans participation in sports, whether or not certain words are slurs, or the validity of trans identities WILL RESULT IN A BAN**. If you're curious about the trans experience, you would have better luck browsing /r/asktransgender.

Transphobia, bigotry, and hate speech of any kind will **not** be tolerated here.

r/trans Rules

---

# Our expanded rules.

1. No Hate Speech - No hate speech allowed whatsoever. This is a ZERO tolerance policy. This rule includes any terminology that is used as a slur or pejorative against anyone; even if you’ve personally reclaimed the word, does not mean everyone has, and we ask that you respect that when speaking with other users.

2. Respect the Transgender Community - Respect the people who belong here. Including:
    - No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way.
    - No insulting transgender people, their appearance, or purposeful misgendering.
    - No arguing with transgender people about their identity.
    - No arguing with transgender people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc.
    - Anything else the Moderation Team deems disrespectful.

3. This is **not** a Debate Sub – Your opinions on transgender people’s participation in sports, bathroom use, whether it is transphobic to not date trans people, etc. These kinds of “debate” posts are not welcome here. You will be banned if you’re from outside the community asking these questions, as it breaks our rules on Respecting the Transgender Community.

4. This is **not** a Porn Sub – Posts that are pornographic or sexually explicit are prohibited. This includes: 1. Nudity below the waist or "female presenting nipples." 2. Images that entice through sexy or flirty posing. 3. Deliberately provocative titles (such as "Would you date me?") and Erotica/"text porn." These posts attract an unsavory element, and there are plenty of other subreddits out there for such content. Note that we do allow NSFW text posts that discuss issues a user may be having in their life.

5. Adult Content Accounts – Accounts that have a history of posting adult content are not permitted to participate in the sub. While we understand that many transgender people use adult content as their primary source of income, this sub is browsed by users under the legal age for consumption of such materials, and those users should not be exposed to it through our members. Please see [this link for further information](https://www.reddit.com/r/trans/comments/rjl6id/updated_nsfw_rules/)

6. No Videos or Podcasts - Whilst we allow both photo posts and text posts, we do not allow videos on r/trans, as they're impossible to moderate and lead to other issues as well.

7. No Advertisements, Surveys, Petitions, or Crowdfunding –We do not allow advertising or promotion of any kind on r/trans. This includes links to things such as OnlyFans, Instagram, Discord,Twitter, FaceBook, YouTube, etc. Research Surveys/Polls, Crowdfunding, and Petitions are also nearly impossible for the Moderation Team to verify the legitimacy of, and are similarly prohibited.  
For Research Surveys, please send in a ModMail to r/LGBTstudies, as that’s where you’ll be directed to if you message us.  
Message ModMail for anything else.

8. No Sharing Hate Speech – r/trans is considered a safe space, and with that in mind we want the content here to foster positivity and helpfulness so that our subreddit can remain a place where everyone can access it without fear of being exposed to hate. This includes articles, images, links/crossposts, etc. that could be conceived as hate speech, even if you're sharing it on the basis of making fun of it.  
You are welcome to describe what you observed in a text post for the purposes of venting or seeking help

9. No “Do I pass?” Posts – Due to mental health concerns for our posters and commenters, posts that ask leading questions around whether or not you pass are prohibited. This includes “Do I Pass” as well as other such things that make people either guess your gender or criticize your appearance. We recommend that you visit subreddits such as r/transadorable, r/transtimelines, etc. if you would like to make posts such as these.  
Please include a gender in the title of posts that ask for appearance modification advice.

10. No Truscum, Transmedicalist, or Gatekeeping Ideologies – Our subreddit is one specifically aimed at allowing people to explore their identity and creating a safe space for those identities to be explored. Truscum, transmedicalist, and other gatekeeping ideologies do not serve our subreddit's goals and comments or posts promoting such are prohibited.

11. No Posts About Self Harm or Suicide – We understand that life can be difficult, and at times life can feel overwhelming or that you have no other options, but there are always options available, we promise you that. If you are experiencing a crisis, we ask that rather than making a post here, please reach out to one of the resources listed [on this Wikipedia page, where most country’s crisis lines are listed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines), as we’re unable to host posts about suicide and self-harm here.

12. This is **not** a Dating Sub – Using the sub to attempt to date other users, or otherwise meet up with them, is prohibited. Do not ask people to DM or chat with you. This does NOT prohibit people from making posts/comments looking for support groups in their area or other such activities. We are particularly hard on users who make suggestive comments or otherwise asking for meetups with users **_under 18 years old_**, and you will be banned and properly reported.

13. No Chasers – r/trans is a safe space for trans people, their stories, discussions, and content. It is NOT a place for people to fetishize us, attempt to hit on or pick up users, or any other general creepy behavior. Similarly, if such behavior is seen in your account’s post/comment history, you are not permitted to participate in r/trans. The Moderation Team maintains discretion as to what is included in this rule.

14. No Name Request Posts - Please direct any and all such posts to r/transnames, the subreddit dedicated to such requests. Please see [this post for further details](https://www.reddit.com/r/trans/comments/1bbrkan/attention_please_direct_all_posts_requesting/).

15. Address The Community Respectfully - When addressing the community; please keep in mind that we are a diverse community, with many different experiences, and we expect our members to respect that when making posts/comments. When making posts/comments do not apply a singular gender to everyone, do not apply slurs to users who are uncomfortable with them, and treat people with the same respect you'd expect. In particular, we ask that you remember that this is not a community specifically for any one gender, and that you don't address the community in that way. This includes things that says something like "Hey (guys/girls/dudes/women/men)" and the like.

Welcome to r/trans!

This is a safe space for transgender people to discuss their lives and issues that surround them, find affirmation, and discover community.  This is a radically inclusive subreddit for everyone under the trans umbrella; if you are binary, non-binary, genderqueer, agender, GNC, questioning, or any combination, this space is for you. 

You don't need to be trans to participate here, but this is not the place for questions or statements of opinion from outside of the community.
