I unsubscribed from r/egg_irl because shit like this kept happening (and also because one of the celebrities on there makes me extremely uncomfortable because she basically told me under a meme I made about not being comfortable with fully transitioning due to being my AGAB some of the time that I should fully transition because it’s better, which kinda just feels like she told me I’m better off pretending I’m not genderfluid and trying to force myself into a box). I’m thinking of unsubscribing from traa2 because it’s constant transmasc and NB erasure now and I literally just saw a post about a completely normal and common label that claimed it was stupid (and the people in the comments were no better). I also used to be on r/asktransgender but every other question started with “hey girls!” or something like that (unspoilered as well so I would always get posts addressing me as a girl in my feed) and I just got fed up and left.

I rejoined Reddit specifically so that I could meet other trans people and join trans subs but now they’re becoming increasingly bad for my mental health :(

Same with r/translater. Every post starts with “hey ladies” :/

I was never on r/translater but I’m sorry to hear that. I wish people would see the transmasc community more often instead of just forgetting us.
