Dear Cis People

About

Read the rules before submitting please!

'Dear Cis People' is a place for trans people to send an anonymous message to the cis population as a whole. It is meant to be a means of opening a communication line from people who are often silenced, either inadvertently or otherwise. Submit whatever you want, but while honest anger will come through, a small amount of discretion for certain things has been given to the admin. Control has been handed over to Amy, a trans* woman/EMT/Med student. All messages are anonymous.

"Because everyone needs a safe space to vent." - Mecca Smith

Rules:

I can only do so much. I am my own editor. Posts go up when they go up, I try to update several times a day.

If I screw something up, if something goes up that violates these rules, or if these rules need to be edited, send me a message. I'll try and be as accommodating as I can without invalidating other's anger.

I can appreciate that there are a lot of questions about where you fit, what the Trans* community thinks is appropriate, etc. Please ask your questions at the Ask a Trans* Woman link below. This is a space for venting. Thanks for understanding!

I will not censor any content. This is a place to vent. This has restrictions, however: racism will not get posted. Apologizing for anger and invalidating others will not be posted. Throwing your brothers, sisters, and other siblings under the bus will not be posted.

Names won't be posted. Every post will be anonymous.

The format of Dear Cis People is somewhat limited. To limit characters to what I can reasonably post without messing up the format too much, it is ask only, please do not spread messages across two asks.

I will not post death threats or threats of inflicting pain/torture.

I will not post rape threats.

This is about trans* issues. If your post is about non-trans* stuff I'm not going to post it.
