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

Thigh high socks = Linux enthusiast

The complete customization of Linux is just so appealing to trans people for some reason... No idea why changing anything and everything about something at a whim would be a big draw to the trans community...

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

As a customization enjoyer, I can relate hard.

Trans is a gateway distro

Where's that "suspiciously large overlap" meme when you need it?

Why are a majority of Linux users gay/trans?

[–] Goodtoknow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Overlap of people who deviate from social norms?

[–] akariii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

there are plenty of ways to deviate from social norms.it'sstill weird they all fell in this category

Sorry for the Necro (browsing top of all time) I reckon it's also us all going from one shitty thing (our AGAB, or windows) to a better thing, same as a lot of us mod video games, or get alternate email clients, eg. We change so much of our life to live a better one and think "hey I can do that to this part of my life, fuck this thing I'm going to replace it with something else"

How many cats do you have?

[–] zib@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'm feeling very called out by this question.

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Currently 2. 3 if you count my catboy boyfriend.
