<h1><u>RULES AND FAQS</u></h1>
|
|
|
|
<h2>All rules are subject to Admin and Moderator discretion.</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>We will not spell out every edge case for you. Common sense and accountability are required. That said, we do have a list of common FAQs below.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>You may be banned immediately for rule violations, or may be given warnings and temporarily muted from participation. You can appeal any action by <a href="/contact">messaging Admins</a>. An appeal does not guarantee a ban/mute will be overturned. An appeal also does not mean you will get an explanation or response - trolls and instigators will be ignored.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>DO NOT send private chats or messages directly to Admins or Moderators about rules or site issues.</b> Admins are also users like yourselves. Chat and messages are private and personal, and are not the appropriate venue to discuss actions taken on behalf of this site.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you have additional questions or concerns about these rules, please visit our <a href="/h/help_and_support/post/18/rules-faqs-megathread">Rules and FAQs mega-thread</a>.</p>

<dd><p>LGB are not a monolith of political beliefs. We are non-partisan, and support users of all foundations - left, right, or otherwise. You may disagree personally with another user's beliefs, but they are allowed to have different core values.</p>
|
|
<p>Right-wing/conservative LGB people are welcome here. Left-wing/progressive people are welcome here. Anyone from any political party is welcome here, as long as they follow the rules and can have composed conversations about the issues at hand.</p>
|
|
<p>If we say right-wingers can't be part of this site and LGB, we're saying the same thing the TQ+ movement tells us: "we'll revoke your gay card because you're not playing by our specific rules". You can feel how you want to feel about the right and/or conservatives, but the LGB among them do have a seat at this table.</p></dd>

<li><b>Why can't I stand up for myself if someone's calling me names, they started it!</b></li>

<dd><p>We ask you to consider the LGB community as a whole, and how you want LGB represented.</p>
|
|
<dd><p>You may critique a topic or behavior, but remember there is a real person on the other side of the screen. Take the high road, and remove yourself from the conversation if you cannot disagree respectfully.</p>
|
|
<dd><p>If you have an issue with a user or a particular stance, take it up with them privately. Public fighting and taunting will be removed, and repeat offendors will be banned.</p></dd>

<li><b>Why was my post about mens/womens issues removed?</b></li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<dd><p>The most likely reason is because it focused on how trans people are broadly impacting men/women, without mentioning LGB at all.</p>
|
|
<p>This is an LGB site first and foremost. We are separatists, and others may find this site seeking understanding of our stance, with no prior knowledge of the LGBTQ+ climate.</p>
|
|
<p>We support both men's and women's rights <b>as they relate to LGB</b>. We're not a platform for supporting men's or women's rights generally, such as "gender critical" or "the red pill".</p>
|
|
<p>Please be sure to demonstrate why/how LGB should take note of what's presented and "join hands across the aisle" of our respective groups, or the post will be removed.</p></dd>

<li><b>Why was my post about politics removed?</b></li>

<br>

<dd><p>The most likely reason is because it focused on how trans people are broadly impacting society, without mentioning LGB at all.</p>
|
|
<p>We're not here to discuss trans rights being changed legally - unless those changes have a direct impact on LGB.</p>
|
|
<p>While some politics are naturally involved in a civil rights movement, we are not a political organization. We are not pro- or anti-politics, so please remember to center LGB or "dropping the T" in your posts.</p></dd>

<p>- Posting about trans actions which impact groups other than LGB.</p>

<p>- Promoting TQ+ or GSRM, or other similar dogma. </p>

<p>- Adding a comment to a thread which has no bearing or relation to the post.</p>

<li><b>Aren't you erasing trans people? They can be gay too!</b></li>

<br>

|
<dd><p>Of course they can. But if a trans person feels they're lesbian/gay due to their gender identity, then we refute that.</p>
|
|
<p>A male who likes other males and transitions is still gay, he is merely a homosexual trans (HSTS) male presenting as female. A female who likes other females and transitions is still a lesbian, she is merely a homosexual trans female presenting as male.</p>

<p>We'll say it louder for the people in the back... <b>SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS BASED ON BIOLOGICAL SEX, NOT GENDER IDENTITY. WE DO NOT BELIEVE HUMANS CAN CHANGE SEX.</b></p></dd>

<dd><p>If you have to ask this, you may need to re-read rule 1.</p>
|
|
<p>We do not allow trancel, troon/troom, or any other slang devised to mock trans people. Language like that is better suited for <a href="https://cringetopia.org">Cringetopia</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>Use of the word "tranny" will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Quoting someone else, referring to yourself, or discussing the usage is okay. Using the term towards someone else is not. Not everyone has accepted and made peace with it or reclaimed it, and we will respect that.</p></dd>

<li><b>What do you mean by "crudity" or "shock/gore"?</b></li>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<dd><p>Do you remember r/NeoVaginaDisasters? Pepperidge Farms remembers.</p>
|
|
<p>Nothing of that sort is allowed. That also includes written phrases like "pus-filled axe wound" or "sliced and flayed flesh hotdog".</p>
|
|
<p>Remember there is a real person on the other side, with actual feelings, who made a choice to transition and is now living with it. It's a slippery slope from "expression of truth" into disgust and/or hate speech, and it's not our place to shame people into regret.</p></dd>
