Hey fab fedi folks 

Per the title, we're looking for Discord channels with specific criteria to recommend to other trans people  

We're aware of The Orchard for anyone questioning their gender, or seeking support, community, or friendship.

Sadly, however, it's too large a server for many people and puts them off 😔

The problem is that we don't really know any other open, friendly servers to recommend to trans people. Most smaller servers tend to be invite only or age restricted (e.g., 18+; 30+ etc.), and often, despite best intentions, end up with a bias towards specific identities 🥺

To this end, do any of you know any Discord servers that:

• Are welcoming to everyone under the wide trans umbrella
• Are open (vetting on joining is fine)
• Are intersectional
• Are kind, patient, and understanding
• Offer support on trans issues
• Support common overlapping identities and support needs (e.g., mental health; neurodivergence; plurality; furry; etc.)
• Explicitly forbid transmedicalism, gatekeeping etc.
• Can cater to different age groups (by restricting sections by age etc.)

Recommendations will be very much appreciated, and boosts will be very welcome 🩷

Thank you all in advance

Hey non-cis folks of the fediverse  👋

We'd like to know which things you wish you had heard, read, seen, or been told about gender when you were younger that might have helped you to realise you weren't cis sooner 

The ones we wish we had been told are:

• If you want to be a girl, you can just be a girl.
• Cis boys don't feel uncomfortable in their gender and wish they could be a girl.
• Cis boys don't wish they were trans, so that they could transition too.
• Nobody else can tell you what your gender is: you have to discover it for yourself.

What would yours be?

Let's try and help a few current and future eggs together

I don't know who needs to read or hear this today, but you DON'T need a formal diagnosis of anything to be trans  

This is only required to access gender-affirming care or update your birth certificate in places with outdated healthcare systems, like the UK NHS.

Only you can truly know your gender

PSA

You don't have to have your gender figured out or know what term fits you best.

And all the terms are just descriptive, not prescriptive.

If you want to try different pronouns, a different gender presentation, a different name, a different voice, HRT, or anything else, you can just DO that.

And we'll be right there to support you

Started wondering why some men have to spread when sitting in public places. Continued with the thought that I don't spread even though I'm... oh wait, I'm not.

#NonBinary #cisnt

The self-doubt about my gender and whether I'm actually cis isn't nowhere near as intense as feelings of all things nonbinary. 😁

PSA

You DON'T need to have ANY of the below to be trans:

* Noticeable gender dysphoria.
* Strong dislike of your genitalia, body, voice etc.
* A desire for HRT or surgery.
* A medical diagnosis.

It's enough to feel that your gender doesn't match the one you were arbitrarily assigned at birth.

You don't need anything else to be valid

Pass as cis?

Nah: I'd rather get a merit or distinction grade as trans AF 😌✊
