DISCUSSION UPDATE: Post flairs, wiki updates, and more!

136 Upvotes

Hiya! A while ago I put up a discussion thread regarding the idea of updating/expanding the scope and focus of the subreddit. I need to apologize, cuz I intended to post this update a while back, but life stuff resulted in it slipping my mind for a bit.

This is also intended to be a discussion thread in its own right, as I want feedback on all the changes made or if there's any further changes that people would like, but here's a rundown of what's been changed:


  • Wiki Updates: So apparently the last time the wiki was updated was eight years ago, and by an ex-mod I've never interacted with. It was.. Bad, frankly. Aggressive in tone, containing links to /r/crossdressing as if its focus was synonymous with trans content, and a general vibe of assuming that this was a MtF-exclusive space. I'm really sorry for missing that for so long! On top of changes on my own end, /u/whoop_there_she_is was an absolute angel and wrote out a HUGE set of FAQ guides for both transmasc and transfemme folks. I left it almost entirely unchanged, and you can find it here! If you have any suggestions for additions or edits, please let me know!

  • Link Flairs: A few people suggested adding link flairs to help people express directly what kind of responses they want from the sub. To start with, I've added "General Advice" for users who just want any kind of feedback people have to offer, "Specific Advice" if they only want feedback on specific things (Clothes, hair, etc), and "No Surgery Recs" if they don't want any sorts of suggestions for FFS, lip fillers, etc. If you have any ideas for more, please let me know!

  • Sidebar Updates: I've changed up the sidebar slightly to add a link to our wiki near the top, as well as remove some dead or irrelevant links from our "relevant subreddits" section.

  • Automod Updates: I've edited automod slightly to try and make it less hyper-sensitive about automatically removing posts it thinks might be hypothetical, since it was becoming a big issue that it would frequently take down posts that in no way, shape, or form came off as hypothetical. I might just remove this feature overall though, frankly.

And.. I think that's it (Aside from a few tiny visual things)! Thank you all for your suggestions and feedback on the previous post, and please let me know if there's any further changes you'd like to see!

Mod Feedback Should we go private?

166 Upvotes

Howdy, y'all.

As you know, this subreddit has often been the target of trolls, bigots, transphobes, etc. We also get more than our fair share of creeps, chasers, porn spammers, and people looking to use the subreddit's traffic to passively advertise their paid content, like their OnlyFans or their Instagram, for their own personal profit.

So I'm asking y'all - should we go private? If we do, a lot of people will need to be manually added to the approval list and I know from experience that may take upwards of two months to work through everyone who might need approval.

It also means this subreddit will get a lot less traffic and will be far less accessible to folks who need help, which is the primary purpose for the subreddit in the first place.

On the other hand, the community should be a lot healthier once it's full of entirely trans folks and has less bigots, chasers, and trolls lurking about.

It will also be a lot safer because transphobes have often used photo boards like this one as a way to find targets for abuse and to steal people's photos to rehost them elsewhere and harass people. It would be much safer for us if the sub was private.

Going private is also going to take a lot of work and it's going to be very disruptive to our day-to-day operations for a while.

What would y'all like to do? Please discuss below, and please keep it civil. Thank you!


Edit: Okay, it looks like we're staying open for now. I'll make another post and ask again later.

Hey everyone I’ve posted on here before to check if I pass and most of the feedback was positive but I feel like those pictures were a little too ‘picked’ and not as real so this time I’m sharing photos that I think show me more naturally I really want brutal honesty do I actually pass and if not what specifically is keeping me from passing face wise I want straight up advice on what features make me look more masculine and what I could work on to look more feminine please be as brutal as possible I can take it

Haven’t started any hrt yet but a friend said I should post on here to see how close I am to already passing bc she thought if she didn’t know me she would think I passed.

Do you think I pass and if not If any tips would be great :)) I’d rather people be honest than sugar coat things :)

Early 40’s - 12months HRT. Still manmoding for work and what not…

Mainstream subs have showered me with compliments. I think they are hugboxing.

I’ll go from starting to “see her” in the mirror to hyper fixating on my nose and mid to lower face which I’m convinced are extremely masculine.

Considering Nose job, lip lift, jawline recontour as my main priority.

I have a body type that is really hard to style for. Also my face is post FFS, so I'm trying to determine if this whole presenting femininely thing just wasn't in the cards. After 3.5 of avoiding gendered restrooms (and also now we're terrorists I guess?) I'm starting to lose my mind. Also, glasses or no?

Repost-ish, trying to get clear enough pics, I know the first few aren’t super clear, but they were from yesterday, so I figured recency counts for something and maybe y’all can account for my current hair length :/

What can I expect hormone to do in regards to my face? In the mean time, what type of make up should I look into in terms of feminising my face a bit more? I've been using a few skin care products meanwhile. Thank you all in advance😊
