Rules
As you all may know, life without rules is chaotic. The Internet is no different. Here are a few very simple rules that I hope you can abide by:
Number 1:[/font] Be respectful of people's opinions. There are just as many partners who oppose transition as those who encourage it.
Number 2: Do not bash anyone based on race, sexual orientation, gender, etc. You will be banned.
Number 3: Please refrain from posting pictures of yourself and/or your partner on this forum - especially hormone/surgery results. There are plenty of other sites for that. Facebook is one of them.
Number 4: To keep members as safe as possible, do not give our very personal information in the public forum! This includes, but is not limited to: physical addresses, phone numbers, names of family members, etc.
Note: If your partner is not out at work, use aliases or do not use their names at all. We want to protect them as well.
Number 5: This rule is going to be very unpopular, but it is necessary. Be "politically correct" (e.g., polite). Refrain from using triggering language, offensive terms, and anything that might threaten the safety of others - intentional or otherwise. If you are uncertain of any terms or comments, ask a staff member before posting.[/blockquote]
The point of this blog is to be as welcoming and encouraging as possible. While we are by no means an oppressed group, partners of trans* people undergo just as much stress before, during, and after their partner's transition. We want to ensure that stress is alleviated rather than added onto.
If there are any suggestions you would like to add, PM a staff member and it will be considered.
Happy posting!
