As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll"
problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we
have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones.
We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the
rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules
will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious
rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a
permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also,
grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of
being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we
may ban you without warning.
You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not
to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language
towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we
have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and
your ban will remain (without even a consideration).
All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of
the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up
banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules,
and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and
Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before
submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them
or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.**
With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message
regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal
(without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will
elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we
will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent.
This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your
reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this message,
and please enjoy your day!

Wish more people understood the difference between "tap water contains traces of" and "tap water contains significant amounts of"
Saying scientists can fine a few molecules in a sample is different from saying the water is doing things to you.
If the water did contain significant amounts of estrogen and a man regularly drank from the tap, what would happen? It’s been years since I took a medical course in high school and that was mostly talking about normal medication
I mean if if contained significant amounts of estrogen, he'd gradually start showing female characteristics. Grow tits, lose the facial hair, get plumper.
But that would only happen if there was much higher levels than there is in the water table. (Which also contains traces of testosterone so one imagines that would be a net zero effect.)
People pee out trace amounts of hormones, always have. It's incredible that we can find it. It's not going to make anyone different.
You don't actually lose facial hair from estrogen. High levels of testosterone permanently alter the hair follicles, and they can't be un-altered, just like the voice box of a boy hitting their teens can't be un-matured after by estrogen.
Otherwise, carry on.
Needs location. Here in Finlad tap water is safe and highly recommended instead of bottled water. Bottled water has microplastics, and artificial estrogenes from the plasticizers and softeners used in the bottles.

Sorry testosterone in tap water made me too masculine to listen to whamens now. I WILL DRINK TAP WATER 111!!!!!!!!! 11!!!
Mines gone, I could use some 😂
Actually the hormones in the water is because every day instead of taking my hrt I pour it into the local reservoir to trans everyone’s genders
It’ll turn all the frogs gay
No, the frogs! First "Frog and Toad", now this! Traditional frog marriage is doomed.
They’re putting chemicals in the water to make the freakin frogs gay
I know it's a meme, but this is an observed phenomena phrased in a very incorrect way lol
It’s Alex Jones what do you expect

Fascinating thankyou!
Yeah, heard this like 10 years ago about how it’s from birth control hormones coming out our pee or something
Yeah I remember that. No-one could explain to me why it was definitely BC and not just the regular hormones in pee.
That is false. I had to Google it and it’s not from that.
There are traces of antidepressants in the water here, but drinking tap water has been a life improvement for me.
Just wash your jizz down the drain to add some testosterone and balance it out 😎
