I'm not surprised that all this stuff came out. Drag had a very similar pattern of behavior to past trolls.

What social short video platform should I use? in c/mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Tumblr has a lot of LGBTQ people, but is a text based platform as opposed to a short form video platform.

Rule 3 (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

This is a reminder to follow rule three. Rule three says not to post negative news articles without a call to action or way to help.

Firstly, these posts attract the wrong kind of crowd. It tends to get into insult and negativity territory real fast. They get a lot more engagement from outsiders, and that leaves more chance for shitty things to be thrown at members of our community.

Secondly, these posts affect trans people's mental health negatively. If there's nothing we can do to help, it makes no sense to constantly consume media like that. It makes life feel hopeless. Digital self-harm is real and a problem for many of us.

There are many places to consume this media, and frankly it is rather hard to avoid in online trans spaces. This community is not the place to post them.

If your post is found to violate rule three, it will be removed.

Before you post a news article, think "How would this make other trans people feel? Does it promote anger, hopelessness, or negative reactions? Does it have a way to change this situation for the better?"

Things to Keep in Mind About This Community (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

First and foremost, this is a community to support, love, and provide resources for trans people. Anything that puts that in jeopardy will be removed.

This isn't to say cis people aren't welcome on here, but that most posts and discussions were made with primarily trans people in mind. It's okay to ask respectful, good-faith questions and to be genuinely curious about trans people. To be a good ally, you must listen with open ears and be willing to accept it when you're wrong. Remember that you are a guest here, and as such be respectful and kind towards the trans people whose home this is.

What this community is not:

  1. This is not a place to be a transmedicalist and gatekeep being trans. Trying to divide up the trans community to be against each other is a way to weaken us as a whole.

  2. This is not a place to "debate" being trans or trans people. Our existence and right to be ourselves is a given.

  3. This is not a place to be a TERF. You are not welcome here and will be permabanned for spouting TERF rhetoric.

  4. This is not a place to be a jerk and spread negativity. Don't say mean things or insult others, trans or not.
