Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

There was a time about a decade ago I was friends with this one woman. I had massive depression and as a result I was trying my hardest to not piss off people. At one point she said she blocked me for violating a rule. Which was either an extremely uncharitable view of what I said, a moment of temper on her part, or severe lack of reading comprehension on her part - none of which are good options.

And when I thought about his, I realised she was doing this with everyone to some extent or other. If everyone around you keeps failing to uphold The Rules, maybe, just maybe, that's not their fault. In retrospect, I guess I only lasted as long as I did because I didn't call her out.
