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…
- 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.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Had this recently on lemmy! Someone pointed out a grammar error in my post title and I explained I was neurodiverse. Another user mansplained how to use apostrophes and lectured me on it not being an excuse. I politely pointed out the issue is not being able to see properly on a white background and issues distinguishing characters etc. So he just didn't reply.
Like I've never been taught at home, school, googled it, picked it up from other users etc. I needed his patronising wisdom!
Aw I'm sorry that happened! sounds really frustrating and some people will nitpick anything. Lemmy is the only social media I've been on which seems to be mostly men. it's a little alienating sometimes!
Yep I'm guessing it's cos it's techy people heavy. Lots of men in tech after all
The funniest thing there is that techies are absolutely terrible at communication. Just read any manual written by an average techie that's supposed to explain how their technology is supposed to be used. Ignoring spelling and grammar errors (which can be sizable in number!) the ability to actually organize information in ways that can be followed is decidedly lacking.
