LGBT only covers four umbrella identities: gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans. Since the formation of the initialism, the spectrum of sexuality has become more visible and more accepted. To put it simply, "LGBT" just isn't enough anymore. Pornography is not allowed. This includes text, photos, and videos with the primary purpose of erotic entertainment. Pornographic content will be removed. Moderators are hoping that recent actions represent continued momentum. “The brigades that we see at /r/lgbt are ultimately the symptom of the underlying problem of bigotry.’” says Koronicus. “As long as there are communities on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate or othering marginalized groups, and as long as the admins permit individual users to preach bigotry, this is going to keep happening. You have to take an active stand against bigotry.” Transgender is someone who just wants to go by a different pronoun and maybe get a haircut. These people despite having some gender dysphoria do not fully experience the problem transexuals experience. They feel no need to take hormones. They feel no need to have surgery or want to have surgery. They just want a new name pronouns and dress up a little different. There is no laws preventing changing your name or preventing you from going by different pronouns(besides maybe in schools but whats gonna stop your friends from calling you by your proper pronouns?) yes there is a lot of hate on trans people but the transexuals get the full brunt of it as they are passing laws banning transexual healthcare. Use a specific term if you are talking about issues that may be specific to a particular orientation or identity.

Comics that do not need a punchline, such as comics based on personal experiences or comics about education or self discovery can only be posted on Me Monday or within 12 hours of it, UTC time - from 12 PM UTC Sunday to 12 PM UTC Tuesday.

Any adult living in England can choose to be referred to any English clinic, regardless of location: Our subreddit is one specifically aimed at allowing people to explore their identity and creating a safe space for those identities to be explored. Truscum, transmedicalist, and other gatekeeping ideologies do not serve our subreddit's goals and comments or posts promoting such are prohibited. In the trans community, there are some terms that stymie conversation and limit productive discourse. We encourage users to find more descriptive terms to use instead. Our current banned term list: Referencing (or knowingly bypassing/breaking a rule/action) moderator action (or rule complaints/repost complaint) such as removing a post for an inappropriate title or a self hate based removal among others reasons is not allowed in post titles/comments, it only serves to distract from conversation of the topic at hand which is the picture posted. T (Transgender): Transgender is a term that indicates that a person's gender identity is different from the gender associated with the sex they were assigned at birth.

Edit: I love that most people actually understand the point I’m trying to make here but for the ones that don’t, I just want to say that I was that Christian who thought anything gay was bad and who was raised to believe the LGBT+ community was going to hell and I wanted to be an ‘ally’ too because I couldn’t be brave enough to come to terms with my own sexuality, but I could at least support the people who were.B (Bisexual): Bisexual indicates an attraction to all genders. The recognition of bisexual individuals is important, since there have been periods when people who identify as bi have been misunderstood as being gay. Bisexuality has included transgender, binary and nonbinary individuals since the release of the "Bisexual Manifesto" in 1990. What if you were on a deserted island/in a world with no gender differences/somewhere where genders were all equal? This sub's main purpose is to provide a space for transgender people to freely express themselves. Cisgender people should be here to learn, not so speak over trans people, and should select the "cisgender" flair for themselves or the "questioning" flair if it is more appropriate. Rude cis people will be banned. If you make a post that is triggering, NSFW, photo-manipulated, or otherwise deserving of one of the tags we have for posts, make sure to flair it appropriately. We want everyone to feel safe here, and we want to make sure that they're not running into posts that would harm their mental health if they weren't prepared for it. We are NOT a dating community/replacement for a dating app in ANY form, we do not allow location discussion or discussion of wanting to find a partner/hinting at how you are single in any way here. We used to be more lax on this discussion but with issues recently we don't feel comfortable allowing the leniency to continue. Keep your relationship status out of your post, this is a place to post selfies not to hookup/date (Mind you 99.99% of the users are 13-18 years old).

As a space of free expression for trans people, we hope to never ban trans users, but repeated violation of the rules may result in a ban. Just be nice to one another! It's not that hard. Bigotry of all forms (homophobia, transphobia, acephobia, racism, et cetera) is of course assholery, but instigating or prolonging drama is also considered assholish behaviour and will not be tolerated. Participating in a subreddit that promotes hate may also warrant a ban. To cut down on transphobes, trolls, etc. posting in this space in bad faith, brand new accounts are not allowed to post, and all users must adopt a flair. The original acronym has gained more letters designed to help better represent other identities related to sexual orientation and gender identity. Why the “Plus” MattersThis is a place for free expression and conversation and downvoting can stymie that discussion. If someone posts or comments something you don't like, post a comment explaining why, or scroll past it. If they break a rule, report it instead of just downvoting. United Nations human rights mechanisms have expressed concerns about these violations since the early 1990s. These mechanisms include the treaty bodies established to monitor States’ compliance with international human rights treaties, Special Rapporteurs, and other Independent Experts appointed by the Human Rights Council. For decades, several High Commissioners for Human Rights, UN Secretaries-General and other senior UN officials have expressed similar concerns.

Do not post troll selfies that don't contain you in the picture. Your entire face must also ALWAYS be fully and clearly visible and unobstructed by masks (etc) and as well the image MUST contain you. Ok as we know just the prefix of trans is the head of the umbrella with many branches. I feel like we need to let it be more widely known that being transgender is a separate thing from being someone who goes under medical intervention to be another gender that is somewhat established(male/female/nonbinary)If you are a trans person creating an account to post here, try answering some questions on r/asktransgender, etc. and waiting a little while before you post.
