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.

What do you all think of a WomensStuff supporters group open to all genders? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

Hey all! A male supporter has offered to open a community called WomensStuffSupporters that all genders can reply to. That gives men somewhere to show support that isn't here and also make here easier to moderate.

There's the option to X post from one to another, which is wouldn't want to happen automatically as some people wouldn't like that.

What do you all think of the idea? I'll leave this post up for a while before a decision is made.

Edit: you can message me if you don't want to say publicly. I won't let people know you contacted me, I'd just potentially say someone messaged saying they did/didn't want it

I don't think its a good idea. I don't see the appeal of a male inclusive women's space. The rules are what make this community what it is. I doubt I would ever visit the new community. I hear men's unsolicited takes on women far more than I'd like, despite my best efforts. No way I visit a community for more of that.

Women will be at the real womensstuff, men will be at the male inclusive one. It will become a place for men to talk to other men about women. I don't think that's the kind of vibe we should encourage. I also don't see how a space for men to be ignored by women is in any way valuable to them.

I think it would be much better to make a women adjacent community, that is male inclusive, and has its own focus. A male inclusive version of womensstuff is not the way to go.

Great thanks hilde. The hope is it would reduce the shit we get here, but the mod would certainly have to manage a lot of shit! It's really kind of him to offer

I understand the intention, but I doubt it will have that effect.

Yep the guy is a hero for offering to take the bullet for us!
