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.

Sometimes yes. When people use this about a woman they often just mean she's assertive and standing up for herself. And that is Absolutely Positively Necessary.

But then there's the other use of this word. Some women are bullies, cruel, don't tolerate difference etc. That's really not ok and I can't think of a time that's needed

100%!!! I've been called this for standing up and being assertive to people who were giving me shit. i usually just respond back with "i am not a female dog" in an assertive tone and keep going
