Same thing in r/girlgamers before I left. It was obvious from the rules that transwomen were welcomed. All the posts with stuff like "trans setups" should have probably made it clear as well. Yet they still made posts going "am I welcome here?" So unnecessary. You're already accepted in the sub, so just contribute like any other person there.

Came here to mention r/girlgamers. I have been subbed there for years and I hate what the sub has become. It went from an interesting and female centric gaming sub to 90% of the posts being "look at my new pink mouse".
The "am I welcome here" posts are so annoying too, read the sidebar will you? Of course you are welcome, if you weren't the sub would probably be banned. A lot of the active users (and mods) are trans and so many users are men (not trans women).

Yeah that is a problem too. Last time I went over there I noticed a few people still bravely trying to post interesting content, only to go vastly underappreciated. I just gave up after that. No need to see pretty much the same post about 50 times over.

I'd love it if we could build a good community for female gamers on saidit. Like r/girlgamers used to/was supposed to be.
