Community request posts with enough upbears and a volunteer for moderation willing to submit an application will be created during mod drives.

I would like to hear peoples thoughts in these. Currently we have gotten approval from Dessalines to host these comms on Lemmy (to also include blahaj) but obviously I would prefer them here because of our pronouns features and so on.

Basic rules for transgender surgeries comm: Posts must be posted on a fresh account, identifying information such as tattoos and face must be blurred or pixelated.

We will probably also work on mirroring the transgender surgeries subreddit and hosting the former wiki there on a cryptpad on artemislena.eu

The community will also be hidden unless subscribed to to prevent sudden genitalia reveals.

If you are interested in modding one of these places please let me know.

trans surgeries being a separate comm makes sense, but would DIY need to be its own comm? /c/transenby_liberation is pretty dead these days because of /c/traa and the mega, maybe DIY could be folded into that to revitalize it and then put a link to DIY resources in the sidebar of every trans comm?

I really think DIY is a niche topic with a lot of information and shouldn’t just be mixed in a general purpose trans sub.

People go for the technical information and discussion about life saving care not everybody needs or wants. They don’t generally want it to be mixed with memes or random trans discourse, politics, or community infighting unless it really has to happen

It’s similar to transgender surgeries if anything if you’re gonna mix them mix DIY with surgeries
