Two posts of greeting rather than one? Unacceptable. Fuck any kind of heads up or anything, this is a serious issue that the Gods need to crack down on without any warning, straight to red text. If I were Farn I would've just straight up banned them. Deleting the posts wasn't even enough, just get rid of the thread it's been so tainted by salutation. God forbid.

There should really be a red warning light flashing above moderators terminals when for whatever personal reason they're not in a fit state to moderate reasonably and with a sense of proportionality. Maybe a repeated grating audio message as well just to ensure that a supervisor comes over and doesn't let them go on until they're fixed up. You know, like at the self-checkout machines.

I'd strongly recommend an appeal, this is absurd. It's even getting to the stage nowadays when I could do a better job. Dark times.

It's a thread for a close-knit community that tries to support each other, often through difficult times. A slightly extended greeting being given a warning is arbitrary and completely divorced from context and any notion of common sense. I'd appeal it all day long. There's a lot going on round this forum lately that merits moderation, clearly priorities need realigning if this is what is getting the red text. Those who cannot do their job properly need to shape up or ship out.

What do you mean? Like you're planning transition and detransition simultaneously? Or "permanent" in the sense of some arbitrary level of surgery?

From where I sit anybody who faces adversity because society sees them as trans is trans, even if they don't meet an arbitrary standard or if it's "part-time" or "temporary" or whatever.

So today I went shopping and bought new clothes...

Behold, the badly-pixellated full-body image!
This is me failing to look sexy.

...and decided to take far too seriously someone who joked that I should use paint to colour my hair.

They work surprisingly well and are about a tenth the price.

Wow you are sinny.

Just as a quick comment, you might try giving your hair more volume. Your face is more oval in shape and that might help.

By the way, I am jealous of how skinny you are.

Don't be - I'm so skinny that I'm weaker than the average 14-year-old and my ribs are exposed. Which admittedly seems to be the standard of beauty, but ehh.
