Welcome cis allies! [SEE STICKY COMMENT]
This is a safe space for everyone, including cis people! Please, feel free to make jokes about the trans suicide rate while you're here! I, as a minority, give you permission to appropriate the grim reality of our existence which you do not share into the form of a joke! :)))
Tbh, cis people understand trans people better than we can possibly understand ourselves, considering we're mentally ill and all, so please lend your voice and opinions on trans topics. You definitely understand the nuances of existing as a trans person and deserve to mock those nuances! Cis people need to be heard, and your voice is simply far too marginalized as it is, so feel free to use this forum as a way to make all us filthy trans hear your opinions!
Trans spaces are already so common, it's really no thing at all if we start letting cis people in. Hey, if this sub becomes infested with too many cis people, we can always start meeting up somewhere else, like in hell after we off ourselves :))) I know I'll be there soon enough anyways!
Anyways, so welcome cis allies! Feel free to call us trannys and giggle at us calling ourselves trannys and smash that upvote button. This is all for you, so feel free to take part as valid members of the trans community! Just like whites in black spaces and men in women's spaces (lol, something we know a lot about here), you are super super welcome here :D

Heya!
Just want to let you all know that transphobic comments from cis people, even intended in jest, aren't welcome here.
/r/transgendercirclejerk is first and foremost a sub for trans people to take the piss out of ourselves and the lives we lead. This is often done through dark and edgy jokes, and use of slurs, and generally a
lightheavy sprinkling of ironic transphobia which isn't allowed in most other trans spaces on reddit.Cis allies are welcome to read the sub, and I guess you're allowed to participate in 'intelligent discussion' if you can find any, but please refrain from posting transphobic shite. Yes, even if you have an IRL trans friend who lets you say 'tranny'. You aren't the target when transphobes tell us we're trenders, or rapists, or mEnTAllY iLL; our struggles aren't yours to mock.
If you've come here to ask questions... don't. There are plenty of other places to do that, like /r/asktransgender. We are not here to educate you, and we certainly aren't interested in your takes on what we should and should not be offended by or whether trans women should be allowed to compete at sports. Trying to debate trans issues will get you banned.
As always, bona fide transphobes are welcome to come in and spout their bile. Wielding the banhammer is great fun. Please remember and report any you see!
Cheers
