Okay so this is anecdotal but there is (was?) a subreddit called transpassing and I feel like it ended up having an unsettling vibe as well at times. People would end up giving opinions there that boiled down to “you won’t pass until you get cosmetic surgery”. It felt like it fed into people’s anxieties about passing rather than being a positive environment, and as well became a space where transmedicalists could thrive.
I dunno I guess my point is that maybe it’s just a bad idea in general to have a space where you judge people’s appearance, because it will always devolve.
