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.

Brook House in west London will be a "UK first" in providing homes exclusively for women.

The idea is that single women are their own demographic, with different needs to families etc. It's partly aimed at DA survivors... let's be honest, even without DA a massive part is safety.

What's your thoughts on this project? Would you be more likely to live in a block of women only flats to mixed?

As a man, yes, I'd prefer to live in a block of women-only flats. I don't mind it's all women. Honestly.

Though, with the UK supreme court ruling that transgenders are to be classed by their assigned-at-birth sex , I wonder where this place will sit with regard to that.

Though, there are many women-only shelters for victims of DA with a multitude of safe spaces. I would guess this is just a marketing ploy to attract customers.

Hey Catty thanks so much for dropping in and giving us your respectful perspective! We are trans inclusive women only, so please don't comment again. Thanks for understanding ❤️

And what pray tell, gave the impression I'm trans-exclusive? Still either way, the point is moot, it's whatever the owners wish to do, not what some woman thinks she can go around telling others what to do and what not to do.

Thanks for understanding 💖
