Rules

1.) No bigotry of any kind, and don't be a jerk either

Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.

2.) No Spam

This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.

3.) Posts must have something to do with being trans, or about trans experiences

Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.

4.) No Selfies or Character Creations

Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.

5.) SFW-only

This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.

6.) Submissions must be a meme or they will be removed
7.) Swearing is fine, but slurs are not

We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.

8.) Embedded submissions should only link to trusted image sharing sites, no IP grabbers or link shorteners
9.) Use but don't misuse the report button

If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.

10.) Please do not link to any terf, racist, or any other hate communities or forums

Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed

11.) Don't be a jerk nor a troll

Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?

Some notes:

1.) We highly encourage you to use alt text in your posts, so everybody can enjoy this community
2.) It would be really nice if you flaired your posts accordingly in the title

For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.

3.) Don't break the law

This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in

Sibling forums:

!egg_irl

Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial

!196

Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll

“Hey are you…(checks list)…Zoning Violation?”

[–] catreadingabook@kbin.social 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry, Zoning Violation is my brother. I'm xXG4M3R_G0D_420Xx. Easy mistake to make though.

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

See that convinced me that nicknames (or at least gamer handles) belong in the "evil" tier.

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel like I disagree with some details here:

Lawful Good should be "genderswapped deadname", like Steve->Stephanie. Neutral Good is the Ciscore name (initials for enbies). Made up name is chaotic good. Really-extra but normal name is lawful neutral.

Possibly a stupid question: if I ask my mom what my name would have been if I'd been born the other sex, and then use that, does that count as "keeping your birth name"?

[–] MyFairJulia@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Is there any girl out there calling herself The Doctor?

[–] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 8 points 2 years ago

I don't think that'd be allowed, since Dr. is in many countries a protected title.

[–] celeste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

Have you seen a tardis around?

[–] Blahaj_Blast@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

So am I chaotic evil? Username at least.

Does variation on birthname count as true neutral?

Edit: Eh, Who a i kidding? Who doesn't consider Blahåj a deity?

[–] maddy1149@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (4 children)

lawful evil. take a guess where from lmao

i think the creator of celeste also took their own character's name maddy as new name after transitioning.

[–] maddy1149@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

yeah she did lmao

Sheeeet I am usually chaotic neutral on these charts... lmao I mostly use the neutral/female version of my given name IRL. Ofc Franzia is growing on me, though - name given by a friend.

[–] curiousaur@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

Larceny is fucking rad name.

[–] Akagigahara@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Tbf, my names are a bit weird to categorize here. I'd probably fit in most categories

[–] Roundcat@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What do I do if I have a bingo?

[–] JBloodthorn@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

"Cry when filling out paperwork" would be my guess.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Where does gender swapping your birth name go?

[–] celeste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Between ciscore and keeping their birthname probably?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Not trans myself, but I don't like my birth name. Id change it to my username. Which is derived from my dogs' names. Which is like Indiana Jones. 😎

[–] Sombyr@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

Guess I'm chaotic good.

I chose my name because it means "prophet," and psychics kept telling me I had really strong spiritual energy, but the name itself is pretty normal.

Yes, I frequently encounter psychics in my daily life. It just occurred to me how weird that is.

[–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

I'm 47% sure I heard of someone named Arson before.

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I feel like I want to remake this but with the axes being "inscrutability" and "threatening aura", with "gender-swapped deadname" at top left and "possible cause of death" at bottom right.

[–] ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Neutral Good and Chaotic Good should be swapped, no?

[–] skymtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

I was named after a Tumblr post in 2015.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There should be a category for slutty names of their generation like Trixie, Wanda, Amber, Tiffany, etc.

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Isn't that really part of chaotic good?

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Elohim

Pros:

  • Sounds badass
  • Exotic
  • Gender-neutral (technically plural, but most often used in the same context as the singular they)
  • Originally used as a placeholder name for deities, which I consider trans people to be
  • Judeo-Christians take 2d4 holy damage every time they acknowledge you

Cons:

  • Who cares, you are a god.
[–] jaelisp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I did consider Ishtar... Alas, social pressures tamped by evil too much.

[–] LegionEris@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's a made up derivation of an old online username that is pronounced like a noun, but is also after a tertiary character on a relatively niche comedy. As complicated as that sounds, it's a straightforward name. Most people don't need all that info. They just need to know I'm the girl named after a vegetable. It's a very cute name. And the shortened form, which actually came first, seems to be a real name in some non-English-speaking cultures. But really, again, most people just know I'm the vegetable girl.

EDIT: I also occasionally go by Eris for spiritual or ceremonial purposes, but idk if that counts as taking it as a name? It's complicated, tied up in the concept of perpetual invocation, which is itself complicated. Probably not worth the effort to logic out.

[–] Posh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pfft, a Deity chose her name after me.

[–] Posh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Maybe I am the Deity o.o

[–] Getallen@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Hey Defenestration!

[–] GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I could never pull it off but... Asherah is such a pretty name....
