- Posts must be trans related.
- No bigotry.
- Do not post or link to pornography.

- Posts that assume the viewer’s gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following:
[CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc][CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem][CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary][CW: Transphobia][CW: Violence][CW: Weapons/Firearms][CW: Disturbing Imagery]
- Mods can be arbitrary.
Because it apparently has to be said, this community is supportive of all forms of DIY HRT.

Absolutely agree. Unfortunately, too many people bend that second part into willful ignorance, refusing to ask, "forgetting", or it just becoming the default for anybody not known to be cis, even if their gender is wildly obvious.
I used to have a friend that worked in HR who would always call me them and they, even though I'd told him numerous times my pronouns are she/her, and he would always defensively come back that since he worked in HR it's just how he operates, and then refused to ever refer to me as she or her.
It's dehumanizing and transphobic and we see right through the bullshit. It's super obvious and you aren't being clever.
People: if you don't know, just ask. If you refuse or neglect to ask and keep doing this after more than just the first meeting somebody, you're very likely a piece of shit. Don't lean on this. Too many people here are defensively leaning on this.
