Community Guidelines
When engaging with online communities:
- Protect your privacy. Avoid sharing identifying information publicly.
- Respect diverse perspectives. People have widely different experiences and beliefs.
- Verify information. Personal anecdotes are valuable but not medical advice.
- Practice harm reduction. Share safety information, not sources or facilitation details.
- Support others thoughtfully. Listen more than you advise, especially early in your journey.
