Rules

1.) No bigotry of any kind, and don't be a jerk either

Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.

2.) No Spam

This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.

3.) Posts must have something to do with being trans, or about trans experiences

Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.

4.) No Selfies or Character Creations

Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.

5.) SFW-only

This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.

6.) Submissions must be a meme or they will be removed
7.) Swearing is fine, but slurs are not

We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.

8.) Embedded submissions should only link to trusted image sharing sites, no IP grabbers or link shorteners
9.) Use but don't misuse the report button

If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.

10.) Please do not link to any terf, racist, or any other hate communities or forums

Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed

11.) Don't be a jerk nor a troll

Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?

Some notes:

1.) We highly encourage you to use alt text in your posts, so everybody can enjoy this community
2.) It would be really nice if you flaired your posts accordingly in the title

For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.

3.) Don't break the law

This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in

Sibling forums:

!egg_irl

Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial

!196

Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll

Can you help me tryout a name? I'm Vibia Valentine, She/They. Thanks.

I really like the first name! It's cute, it intuitively feels like a name while still being unorthodox and eye-catching, plus it reads Hispanic to me.

I will admit I kinda agree with another commenter that the alliteration gives off stage name vibes (Vibia Valentine would be a pretty good drag name), but if you vibe with that, you do you, Vibia! :)

How you doin V2?

(That's how I'd use it typing unless requested otherwise... Plus I kind of like it)

[–] Corndog@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Vibia? That's a pretty name. Does it come from somewhere special or do you just like the sound of it?

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

It is the first name of Vibia Perpetua, a pre catholic saint and martyr who is one of the "They were Roommates" historical figures. https://amedievalwomanscompanion.com/perpetua/

She is considered a saint of the sapphics and trans people, because she saw herself as a man in a dream.

BTW I'm not religious at all, it sounds great, starts with a V and the story is cool.

I read through it fast and thought I read

Vaseline Valentine

[–] violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh my gosh, hi Vibia. How have you been?

[–] vis4valentine@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I'm doing great! Thanks

[–] backhdlp@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Hey Vibia, you have a pretty name (tho autocorrect thinks it's Bianca or Vivian). FYI, if you have another name to try out, !mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone could be a good place for that. There's sadly no !trans_tryouts yet.

Good afternoon miss Vibia!

I wanna pinch those cute cheeks <3

I thought Vibia Valentine was breaking the rules with their post here, but apparently there's no "this is a meme sub for memes" rule here, so she's not going to make the mods sad or anything.

Edit: ooh, found it. Rule 6. (Oops, spoke too soon.)

Btw, Vibia, do you think you can add a transcription as alt text to your image? (If it lets you edit it in.)

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I keep wanting to add an N in there and make it "Vibina" when I try and say it out loud. 😖

Would it be pronounced "vee-bee-uh" or "vye-bee-uh?"

[–] adora@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hi Vibia!

the name is super cute and kinda unique, like you!
