You know I’m not a fan of how people saw this post , saw the one part criticizing r/ftm, and are now acting like it’s only a problem on r/ftm instead of a community wide issue. Because discussions about DIY T are banned on all of the major trans subreddits, including r/transDIY. It’s also an issue that is everywhere, not just Reddit. I’ve encountered people on tumblr, instagram, facebook, and in real life who pearl clutch over the mention of DIY T.
This also the idea that laws define morality isn’t a thing that only impacts the attitude towards DIY T. It impacts how people treat drug addicts, sex workers, poor people who have to steal to survive. And if you look at stats Trans people have a really high chance of being drug addicts, sex workers, and poor.
So maybe instead of pushing this off as just a ‘Reddit trans man issue’ and something that you a pure tumblr trans person never do, you do some self reflecting on how the trans community as a whole treats people who are forced into a corner of having to do illegal stuff to survive.
