I would like to hear peoples thoughts in these. Currently we have gotten approval from Dessalines to host these comms on Lemmy (to also include blahaj) but obviously I would prefer them here because of our pronouns features and so on.
Basic rules for transgender surgeries comm: Posts must be posted on a fresh account, identifying information such as tattoos and face must be blurred or pixelated.
We will probably also work on mirroring the transgender surgeries subreddit and hosting the former wiki there on a cryptpad on artemislena.eu
The community will also be hidden unless subscribed to to prevent sudden genitalia reveals.
If you are interested in modding one of these places please let me know.
First off, if you acknowledge you haven’t looked into it at all… Maybe do that before commenting. Not to be mean just like, you would genuinely have a lot more insight on the topic if you did
But also beyond the great answers others have given, I think it’s very important to note that providing a structured space for such conversations to happen in actually enhances safety over the current status quo, which is that they still happen but in a more ad-hoc fashion. It allows people to gather reliable sources in one place and refer back to previous posts/stickies easier than if these discussions are happening in the mega or in c/traa. So unless you’re proposing banning discussion of DIY, which I doubt, it should be compared against what is happening now not a theoretical “no possible harm” scenario
