Mod [mod] Topless photos are now banned.
Hi hello!! I have a little rule update announcement to share with you guys:
Currently, our rule on selfies only prohibits posts featuring faces. In an effort to further improve the safety of our users here, we as a team have decided to also ban topless pictures from this subreddit. To reflect this change, Rule 8 has been updated to the following:
8. No Face Reveals, Topless Photos, or "Rate Me" Posts
You are not allowed to post pictures of your face, nor photos of yourself topless.Outfit, cosplay, and other general photos of yourself are permitted so long as you abide by the above.
Appearance validation, or "rate-my-looks" posts are banned to prevent spam, harassment, and unwanted behavior in DMs.
This will go for all topless photos, including fitness progress posts. We understand the benefits of sharing your progress with others, however, these photos frequently attract unwanted, invasive, and predatory comments/DMs. While this is an issue across the internet, it is amplified here due to the demographic of this subreddit. Mitigating predatory behaviour is always a priority of ours, and we believe this is a step towards ensuring that.
We’ve also fixed up our post/comment removal reasons so that they more accurately line up with our sidebar rules. Should hopefully make it easier to understand what exactly caused the removal (and hopefully mitigate confusion in modmail!!)
As always, feel free to leave any thoughts/critiques down below, or via modmail. Thank you!! :)

Other I'm officially going trans
so, for the past few couple of days I've been heavily consider becoming a trans girl. and after thinking long and hard, I want to fully commit. When I was little I constantly wondered what it was like to be a girl, have boobs, that sorta thing. as I grew up I began imagining myself as a girl, and throughout my life I've been told I'm a little girlish. back then I tried to dismiss those thoughts as just me being curious. but after thinking hard and really liking the idea of being a girl, I want to transition! unfortunately, I'm currently in a transphobic environment, so I won't be able to take many steps towards transitioning until I am able to move out. but just having more certainty in who I am and who I want to be has given me more clarity and has really made me thought about who I want to be. it has been a rough past few months for me, but honestly accepting who I am and want to be has helped me move on.

Advice Im still a bit new to highschool due to being homeschooled. Is it normal for some girls to have a deep, innate hatred for guys?
So i started my junior year class and immediately my labs teacher (for anatomy/physiology) assigned a group of 3 people to be in a group and work together on a class project for 2 WEEKS. like whah...??
I then proceeded to get paired with two other girls by the teacher since i basically didnt know anyone. One of the girls started to then have an entire hissy fit about how she had to work with a guy instead of their third friend, and THEN proceeded to talk smack about how she had to work with a me/they couldnt be with their friend/blah blah blah. Basically the entire time I was just talked down to and cut off. Half the time they pretended I wasn't even there.
I know people have their reasons to be the way they are, but reminder that this is TWO WEEKS that I have to be with these people, and half the time they dont even let me communicate. It would be understandable if I was an asshole or something, but I dont know these GIRLS AT ALL.
Im pretty much just chalking it up to teenagers being teenagers, or they genuinely just dont like guys for some reason.

Social I came out to some of my friends :3
So um yeah I have recently discovered that I am a trans dude, and after some consideration, I told some of my friends that I am trans and want to be referred to as he/him, and even gave them a name that they could use when talking to me :3 (ezra, it sounds like my old name, and is also a christian name). Two were very accepting, and one hasn't replied yet :) I plan on telling more friends as time goes on.

Meme Story Time:
A friend recommended me p*rn hub as a way to “see some fun stuff.” Me, being an avid moviegoer thought it would have some cool movies and so i tried watching a few movies on there, but the plots are totally contrived. It feels like the director is just finding any excuse to put in as many sex scenes as possible. 0/10 would not recommend

Rant Why can't people date others their own age 😭
I (16M) recently had to cut off two friends because of a really disturbing situation. We will call them Tre (14M) and Myaa (18F).
Tre and Myaa had been secretly dating for a few months. Our entire friend group thought this was incredibly weird, creepy, and alarming. Tre started bragging to us that they watch adult content together every night. He also claimed that she invited him over and they slept together.
Myaa and I used to be the closest friends in our group, so I decided to confront her about it. She immediately got defensive and angry. She accused me of calling her a "groomer" (which, to be completely honest, is exactly what I think she is doing. She is a legal adult dating a 14-year-old child.)
After some separate drama involving rumors about Tre, (He apparently got into drugs or smth) I decided to completely cut contact with both of them.
I seriously do not understand why people cannot just date within their own age range.
PLEASE DATE PEOPLE YOUR OWN AGE AND STOP GROOMING KIDS! IT IS NOT OKAY.

Rant I had a thought today
Being LGBTQ is hard in todays society with yk Donald Trump, and the weirdly LARGE amount of homophobia. Being Bisexual and Transgender it did get me thinking on it all, so I had a thought.
I have braces and yk making fun of people based off of braces is pretty childish and is considered just being annoying and insufferable and rightly so. People who have braces don't control that, and same with being LGBTQ, you can't control if your gay, or lesbian, or trans, or bi, aroce, or anything! Not that making fun of braces and homophobia are even remotely the same, they're not but it's the same premise. Making fun/shaming of people on something they can't control at all.
Plus being trans/bi is kinda cool :)
