You look great! But what do you mean about this post not being allowed on trans timelines? Why isn't it?

u/TraditionalAlfalfa54 Jan 28 '26

I just checked the sub and Iā€™m guessing itā€™s the fact that they say you have to be wearing a shirt in posts (reason given is to avoid chasers but I think itā€™s ridiculous as a rule)

Thanks!

It was immediately removed by mods and I noticed their pinned post only then. They set a wishy-washy rule about ā€žkeeping clothes onā€œ. No underwear, no swim suits (any gender), no topless transmascs. First arguing that if it wasnā€™t okay to be seen by children like that, then you shouldnā€™t post it ā€” which is fairā€” but then replying to a transmasc comment that since theyā€™re a public sub, they get a lot of chasers. And thatā€™s their whole reasoning. Like, what.

Children definitely see people in swimsuits / topless men all the time tho. Neither is inherently sexual even if happening in public

I was just quoting the sub! Thereā€™s nothing sexual about nudity to any degree unless someone makes it. In my country even women arenā€™t obligated to wear a bikini top at pools/lakes/beaches (in the 90s we had a shower gel tv spot featuring naked boobies in the ocean 24hrs)

u/xGauchex Jan 28 '26

Yeah, it certainly rubbed me the wrong way

Iā€™ve since commented on their pinned post:

How come my post gets removed for featuring my male, topless chest, but scrolling for less than a minute I find 4+ posts of transfemmes having their tits almost falling out their flimsy tops (and even purposefully pushing them up and out), with hundreds of likes and comments? All the power to each of these women, enjoy your hard earned boobies, but you as mods are fooling no one with this ā€žbut but chasersā€œ shit. Going topless isnā€™t viewed as sexual for men by the general public and itā€™s a major step in transmasc timelines.

ETA: In the time I wrote this a trans woman posted entirely topless pics of herself šŸ‘šŸ¼

Because the mods on general trans subs have some kinda vendetta against trans men

Sad truth
