Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

we were just jumping our little folding e-bike at the skate park today so hopefully not >~<
Many of the "side effects" of HRT are just the natural results of having the other hormones. Like,
Oh no, I have an increased risk of breast cancer just like cis women! What ever shall I do!!??
also by going to another hormone, u will claim ur genetics of female relatives combined from both sides, eg im lucky, and know dad sister, we have similar stuff,
example: my boobs are smol arent that my hormones are bad or """my""" body is bad, but because aunt and mom have similar small boobs, and as overall poor growth since for now i quite poorly understood it could be driven by gh/igf, anecdotally my mom have lower than "normal for age"(basically dumb lab ranges) igf level, and she is pretty smol, and im have very poor n slow overall body growth despire having peaks of ~25 nmol of T, well dad is isnt very growth too, genetics cant be fooled aaaaaaaaaa
nah, that myth, often by transmedicalists, basically same as ppl on endogenous hormones, in same way everything depends just on hormone levels, they should be high enough, in same way based on other health problems
Intresting ny doc still told me to work on it before i get my stuffig cuz of the chance ir will go wrong?
idk, in my opinion i very believe, "the enough" is personal based on HPG axis supression, eg means LH - zero, ur body thinks hormones is enough and we dont need stimulate gonads
yayayayayay!!!!!!!!!!! injections, waow i took from pharmacy myself, estradiol gel/progesterone right now!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhh I want the juice so bad, got a bottle in my bathroom already :3.
But I gotta stick to gel for now, because I'll need a "professional" on board with the switch, so that it doesn't produce problems down the road.
Awww, well, happy for you nonetheless :>
Nobody knows what will happen down the road. This is all a grand experiment to make people feel better about themselves
Well, the issue is that the system where I'm from might make it harder to get SRS if I don't have a professional who verifies I've done everything the proper™ way. I'm anxious and up to terrified of that currently, depending on my mood.
Why injections over gel i think id prefer gel over needles
Oh, we're all different :)
I could easily get on monotherapy levels and wouldn't need to take blockers. I love the idea of my body down-regulating T on its own.
You dont need blockers if you use injections? Thats really cool
