A community for transfeminine people and experiences.

This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.

This community is supportive of DIY HRT. Unsolicited medical advice or caution being given to people on DIY will result in moderator action.

Posters may express that they are looking for responses and support from groups with certain experiences (eg. trans people, trans people with supportive parents, trans parents.). Please respect those requests and be mindful that your experience may differ from others here.

The push currently is to define trans advocacy as domestic terrorism, rather then to just outright define all trans people as terrorists.

How many trans people would not support trans rights? It's easy for them to claim any trans person is an advocate of trans rights and therefore a terrorist. There's no safety margin here.

“Terrorist group” is about conduct and purpose, not identity. Under 18 U.S.C. §2331, domestic terrorism = criminal acts dangerous to life + intent to intimidate or coerce a population or government. Being trans doesn’t satisfy any of that. Name the act. If one person commits a crime, that’s a criminal; it doesn’t auto-convert millions into “nihilistic violent extremists” (that’s kinda branding, not analysis). Where’s the act, the group, the stated intent to coerce? Also worth noting: trans folks are more often targets than offenders—see the Williams Institute victimization stats, 2021. Rebranding advocacy as “extremism” is just a backdoor speech ban, and it’ll boomerang onto any protest they don’t like. We shouldn’t let that slide.
