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.

It was both a warning for those who were clicking on it, and the clicking a link about women, to us at least assumes it includes all women, not just some. Either the poster or the article should put a note up top explaining who it is about as we were clicking on it hoping to be including and pretty dissapointed when we were not, and yes it is transphobic, even if not against trans women as it assumes all people with certain biological features or traits are women too.
There's just no way it isn't transphobic, even if unintentional.
fair point, ig specifically in this community this doesnt make much sense to post. the article doesnt really cover trans women at all, but doesnt much of it apply anyway? if you consider trans women on hrt i imagine it does, but im not super knowledgeable on the athletic affects it has
i dont mean to argue, just speaking my mind btw^^
how would you have worded things differently to avoid this?
The Whole Article (which is what we meant)?
We would have written it to be less binary and not used terms like women or female and just explained traits etc that gave advantages, explaining it with the understanding of modern science but in an approachable way.
that's not much of an explanation. I don't feel like you're obligated to, but also, if you assert something as true, you probably should be able to explain it.
Look, if you want us to rewrite the whole article we will. But you'll have to wait.
I would be interested to see how that works.
I love my transfolk friends and relatives. This is a transinclusive place. not trying to undermine that in any way. but I do want to understand things better if I can.
thank you.
