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.

Women are "the weaker sex". If you're living in a male-dominated world that just coincidentally happens to define "strength" by things that men happen to be good at.

But it turns out there's quite a few important ways in which women are the physically stronger sex…

Exactly this. I'm trans and I don't think this article is transphobic. Cis women are going to talk about cis bodies in womens' spaces, and just as the topic of trans bodies will likewise come up in the same spaces, that should be encouraged.

This type of thing can certainly be dysphoria-inducing for some trans women, and I think that's something we just need to self-regulate so everyone feels included and the original topic doesn't get hijacked. There certainly are times and places to vent about biology articles that center cis women, and I think the best place for that are in specifically trans spaces.
