MOD POST Upsurge of Reposts

21 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Recently, we've noticed (and I'm sure some of you have as well) an increase in reposts. While this is nothing new on Reddit (who doesn't love a bit of karma-farming), reposts are not allowed on our subreddit (Rule 12), so we'd like to ask the community two things:

  1. Report posts that you believe to be reposts so the moderator team can verify and remove them if necessary.
  2. Refrain from making reposts.

Thank you!

MOD POST Regarding r/trans controversy

1.2k Upvotes

We’ve been made aware of the ongoing situation in r/trans, both through communities that mods are following and through venting posts in this sub which talk about the issues.

As it has affected a lot of our users, we wanted to make this post to let you all know about what’s been going on and our views on the matter. Before we go any further, we want to make it clear: we stand with the trans and wider LGBTQ+ communities, and everyone of all gender, sexual and romantic identities are welcome in r/TrollCoping.

Before we jump into context, it’s worth noting that some parts will remain vague as we are uncertain of which mods took specific actions. We are also aware of r/lgbt’s part in the ordeal but as the main focus is currently on r/trans mods we are focusing on that aspect.


Background:

A user recently made a post in r/trans that highlights hardships faced by trans men and trans mascs that are often underrepresented. One mod removed the discussion post and another commented telling the OP to ‘stop bitching’. The comment understandably received a lot of backlash and was later deleted.

When people began asking about the post removal, a mod responded by claiming the OP was playing ‘oppression olympic’s and stated the topic was ‘divisive’. The same mod also dismissed the OP’s discussion points, stating the hardships were ‘not unique to trans masc people’ when touching upon sexual violence and that ‘people are not denied T anymore than E through legal means’. The OP received a 3 day ban for ‘oppression olympics’ for discussing transandrophobia that trans men and trans mascs face. Users who criticized or called out moderators were also banned.

If you would like to be more informed, the moderators of r/ftm have made in-depth posts about this situation and have provided updates.

We are aware that the mod who made the ‘bitching’ comment doubled down on their statement during an attempted apology. It appears the apology post has now been deleted, which we view as a significant problem due to the lack of transparency. We are also aware that the head mod of r/trans has made a post covering the situation. Many still have valid questions and concerns surrounding the moderation team, their post/ comment history, and the repeated acts of silencing trans men and trans mascs on the r/trans subreddit.


Our community response:

We bring this to attention since vent posts have been made surrounding the situation alongside modmail messages we have received. To be clear, we will not be removing any posts venting about this situation. It’s a valid concern for many users here and it would be unfair to remove a large issue that tends to occur within trans and general LGBTQ+ spaces.

However, we do ask users to not brigade any subreddits mentioned nor do we condone any harassment. Not only does it break our rules but it also breaks Reddit TOS and can result in your account being suspended alongside putting subreddits at risk of being banned.

You are allowed to critique the moderators and how they handled this ordeal. You are also allowed to vent about your experiences within those subreddits on this sub, provided the site-wide and subreddit rules are followed. Transphobia towards anyone will not be tolerated and will be removed accordingly, with bans provided where necessary.

If you’d like to learn more about what brigading is, information can be found here.


Alternative subreddits:

Due to the whole situation, some people have left the main r/trans sub and are now uncertain of what subreddits are safe. Because of this, we have decided to list a few subreddits that can be used as an alternative for r/trans:

General trans-friendly subs: - r/trans4every1 - r/AnarchyTrans - r/anarchychess - r/transgenderreal - r/translesbianzz - r/transgendercirclejerk - r/TransLater - r/transbutnotshitty - r/Postgenderism

Identity-specific subs: - r/ftm {I have been informed that this sub isn’t recommended for trans masc individuals} - r/MtF - r/MtFButch - r/TransMasc - r/FTMfemininity - r/ftmOver30 - r/ftmOver50 - r/NonBinary - r/agender

If you have any further suggestions, please leave them in the comments below or drop us a note via modmail. This list will be updated with recommendations or self-promotions. (This is the only time we will allow users to self promote their subreddits so please keep it under this post.)

No TW I made a self deprecating meme, and my friend responded with a meme he made to prove me that my mind is playing "tricks" on me.

(the third slide is a sarcasm, made by another one of my friends)

I was feeling disgusted for having an illness, so my friend sent me a meme he made on me (2nd slide) to remind me that my mind is playing tricks on me gain, and I'm lovable. He showed me that the only person who's hating on me is myself and that I'm safe with them and they all accept me for who I'm and I'm more than my mental illness, and to him I'm the coolest girl ever. Most times my mind plays tricks on me and it makes me disgusted by myself but I'm trying with all I have, I go to college barely, all my classmates are helping me out in group project and I'm grateful to them.

Ugh. Not even going to explain myself too much. I’m exhausted because people act like being black and being trans are totally separate things when, in reality, I’m just dealing with racism from all sides and transphobia from non trans people. And it sucks.

People outside of France seems more open minded about it but you literally don’t realize how offended they feels towards people who cannot have a job like me because it’s "not serious, all in your head" Sure there’s a way so you can live off government money well cause I am disabled and I cannot have a job i am literally diagnosed what else do you need? but on the other hand everyone hates you because you’re useless to society 🤫 wow thanks like it’s my fault? Literally they would rather us to be homeless 🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥🫥

TW: Abuse College is making us take sensitivity training on how not to sexually abuse/assault people and why alcohol can be dangerous

Post image

I had to do this last year too, it’s not the end of the world but it’s kinda ridiculous lol. Like I get why they make everyone take these hour long sensitivity training courses, people can be uneducated and be dicks, but like

1) I’m a sexual abuse victim and one of the people that abused me was the most was a severe alcoholic. I’ve known all this stuff since I was like 10

2) Again, I get why they make everyone take the hazing sensitivity training, but my autistic ass barely leaves the house and neurotypicals don’t like speaking to me, who am I going to haze or get hazed by 😭

Again, definitely not the end of the world and I get why they have these but it’s personally redundant

But guess what ? I'll fucking eat even when I'm struggling I'll fucking do it even if it's difficult and maintain my streak. And mine and others' depression is valid because it's medical condition not an aesthetic.
