Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

By opposite, I'm assuming you mean breast growth with no other feminizing changes? That I am not sure about how to achieve. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking that one could maybe go on a T blocker and/or estradiol for a while, and then stop. The breasts should still persist despite stopping, although they may shrink somewhat. Aside from that there is also breast augmentation surgery.
By opposite I meant feminization but more boobs, but I realize that's not the "exact" opposite. I've been on HRT for nearly two years now, but boobage is small :(
Unfortunately there's no magic pill that can cause bigger boob growth. Everyone has a certain genetic potential for boob growth, and that gets activated to the fullest extent possible after a prolonged period of estrogen and perhaps progesterone. If there was some pill that could drastically increase the breast size of people that already have estrogen-dominated biologies, then the breast implant industry would not exist. If you could just take a pill to make your boobs as big as you want, who would want to go through the pain, expense, risk, and artificiality of implants? Implants would be used for breast reconstruction after breast-cancer treating mastectomies, but that's about it.
Yeah I know. Realistically there's nothing that can be done. I'd get a BA but I have other surgeries that have higher priority. Or hopefully in another few years, they'll grow more.
Ask your endo about adding progesterone.
I've been on progesterone for almost a year :)
Oh sorry I assumed wrong. In that case progesterone could help, as someone else has already mentioned. I'm on prog and I think it's helped somewhat. It makes me eepy though so I primarily use it as a sleeping pill now lol
I've been on progesterone for almost a year, I should have mentioned. It didn't help at all with the size but maybe a bit the shape. Anyways I switched to cycling it since it's a PITA to take (literally) and it doesn't benefit me much.
FWIW it's probably genetic because nobody in my family has big knockers and mine are probably a B cup at best. I just wish for bigger ones 😮💨
Same here, nearly 1 year on prog. I think it helped more with shape and didn't do much with size as well. There is oral progesterone available though, if you don't want to take the suppository ones.
And as cool as gargantuan genuines are, smaller breasts are still beautiful too, and they don't cause back pain either, so that's nice at least.
Yeah I'm aware... From my understanding, taking it via suppository is better for absorption. And it's fine, it's just if I'm not getting much of a benefit from it (which I feel I would have seen after 9 months of taking it), I don't see a reason to continue taking it every day. So I take it for 10 days at the start of every month. Doing it that way still helps with my libido and stuff but I don't have to take it every day.
But I agree, there are pros and cons to both. I just want them to be a liiiiittle bigger, yknow? :) Maybe that'll happen in time though, 2 years is still early.
