Thanks mods for adding bisexual trans woman flair

"bi trans girl" accurately describes me and I think allows me to feel like I belong here. I am bisexual but heteroromantic so I only romantically connect with men and this is the only active subreddit that gets my yerning in that regard. I love men and love dating men. I think it's totally appropriate to moderate posts where folks in this sub are talking about sapphic relationships.

I still feel like the mods should address the original post and acknowledge the obvious "othering" of bi trans girls, which evidently make up a big portion of this subreddit's population and have no other home to talk about relationships with men.

and no bi subs don't get it. bi culture prefers sapphic relationships for whatever reason, and in all I just want a monogamous husband anyway and that's very different to their conceptions of queerness.

and per the many links to the original sub founders words. this sub has been intended to be a space for all trans women to talk about dating men.

edit: imo mods should

  • settle on a consistent rule for everyone, instead of giving privileges for their inner circle (maybe require flair for all?)
  • don't make it a bannable offence, because otherwise folks can dig into OP Reddit history and out them as bi and get them banned, which I hope we can agree is awful
  • apologize for othering a large part of the subs constituency and calling us "tourists"
  • reaffirm the original intent of the sub is to be a place for male-attracted trans women. and that StraightTransWomen is a obvious easy title for the sub. see all the links to original sub founder for that
