People need to be more considerate in this subreddit
There’s brutally honest, and then there’s whatever the fuck some of the comments on posts in this subreddit are.
Blunt is fine, and necessary. Shallow reassurances are no help to anyone. However, a lot of comments on all sorts of posts go well beyond blunt and into just fully mean territory.
Somebody asking not to be hugboxxed is not asking to be openly insulted. The tone of some of the comments on here is so off-putting and just outright unkind.
Asking for clothing advice is not an invitation for people to go ‘your clothes look stupid as fuck lol’, it’s a request for sincere and constructive advice. This isn’t a roast subreddit.
Someone asking for advice on what’s clocky about them is not gonna be helped out by snarky comments going ‘everything lol’. Be constructive.
Some people come on here just to put people down, and I cannot understand why you’d want to be so malicious about stuff like this as a trans guy yourself. Of all people, you (you being a broad collective term) should know how hard it is, so a bit of kindness and compassion goes a long way.
Just wanted to post this because it’s really disappointing to see so many people being shamed and put down when they’re just trying to work out how to live happily and comfortably by asking for pointers from members of their own community.
