About r/trans

Welcome to r/trans! This is a safe space for transgender people to discuss their lives and issues that surround them, find affirmation, and discover community. This is a radically inclusive subreddit for everyone under the trans umbrella; if you are binary, non-binary, genderqueer, agender, GNC, questioning, or any combination, this space is for you. You don't need to be trans to comment here, but this is not the place for questions or statements of opinion from outside of the community.
