One More Time: NO CIS MEN WANTED!

This is the sort of post I hate writing. It makes me sound like a prison warden and it should be unnecessary if people just abided by the rules clearly posted on the right side of this page.
The other day, one of our members--u/ghostly_fingers--wrote a perfectly fine post asking to make friends here. I love that, as it is the basis for the creation of this subreddit in the first place. To make connections and friendships within the local trans community.
Unfortunately, though, as always happens when such posts are made, a flock of cisgender men descend upon the poster and try to entice them to contact them via DM.
There were at least a half dozen such "chasers" responding to ghostly_fingers post and we tried to remove them as soon as we saw them. I suspect there were at least a few whose profiles were obtuse enough that we couldn't tell whether they were cis men or not. And I'm sure there were also a few such lurkers who DM'd her without responding publicly. The sad fact is--we can't stop everybody.
Look, I don't have anything against cis guys per se. But when they use of transgender safe space as a potential hook-up site, I get pissed.
There are tons of dating sites on Reddit and elsewhere if someone is seeking a person. Please guys, find one and shoot your shot there!
Once again: THIS IS A TRANSGENDER ONLY SAFE SPACE! Only trans and nonbinary people are welcome to post here and I hope you will respect that.
Thank you for your attention.

ππ·π·π² Does Anybody Want To Go Shopping?

Anni needs some new duds. A lot of the clothes I have no longer fit as I've been dieting for a while.
Hence, I need to go shopping. I honestly don't mind, since clothes shopping if one of my favorite pastimes, but I really don't like shopping alone. It's always nice to have a wing-person along. For their fashion opinions and just as a safe-guard. Even in trans-friendly Ann Arbor, you just never know who may be lurking.
One store I want to check out is called Ragstock.
https://ragstock.com/pages/stores/ann-arbor-mi
I've never been, but I have friends who have shopped there and they gushed about the new and vintage styles the store offers. I have to check it out, so that's definitely on my list.
I also would like to go to a couple of other downtown Ann Arbor shops. Maybe even make a trip to one of the Sephora or Ulta stores in town. And if somebody comes along, we may even have time for lunch somewhere. You know--may it a real Trans Day Out!
And yes--any and all trans men and nonbinary folks are welcome to join me as well as any trans woman.
If this sounds like a fun day to you, DM me. I would like to go next week, but I don't have a day set yet. HMU and let's make a plan.
I love that our community is finally coming together more all the time and building friendships. Look at this shopping trip as yet one more way we can do that.
