I would be interested. This community helped/continues to help me so much, and I am looking for ways to give back.

I have been posting weekly about my experience on HRT, and am interested in taking a more active role in the community. I want this community to remain welcoming and positive, it should be a safe place for people to discuss both their struggles and successes on their journeys. We should remain open to the rainbow of experiences "trans" represents while strongly shutting down hatred and bad actors.

There is a sense of community here that I haven't felt anywhere else, online or off, and I want to be a bigger part of that.

You sound like the perfect candidate. The spot has just been taken, but at around 1000 subscribers we'll likely add a fourth (then cap it off, since four mods is enough). I'll strongly consider you when that time comes. Stay tuned!
