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.

We have zero tolerance for transphobia. You're banned.
My source is that I made it the fuck up
thanks for your comment belastend, but this community is for women only and has a rule that only women are permitted to comment or post - so please don't comment further. Hope you understand, thanks! 💛
Oh fuck, I didn't see the community this was posted in. Imma bugger off now
for people wondering about whether it's true that most children just "grow out of" gender dysphoria, I recommend these articles:
Detransition, Desistance, and Disinformation: A Guide for Understanding Transgender Children Debates by Julia Serano (UC Berkeley biologist, activist)
Reframing “Transgender Desistance” Debates by Julia Serano
in particular the four studies that make the 80% desistence claim were found to have major methodological flaws, see:
A critical commentary on follow-up studies and “desistance” theories about transgender and gender-nonconforming children
Meanwhile there is robust empirical evidence that gender affirming care for youth is safe and effective, and is recommended by every major medical association:
Care, Not Controversy by Ian D. Wolfe (a bioethicist at University of Minnesota)
What does the scholarly research say about the effect of gender transition on transgender well-being? a systematic literature review from Cornell University
As a former queer kid (now queer elder thing): the language gets mixed up sometimes in the vile hetero normative soup, so increasing education and visibility about querrness would go a long way towards fixing it
And letting kids have a little agency and weird experiences would probably clear it up pretty fast. I know, childhood experiences that are awkward would really stand out, but i think the vast majority woukd survive.
And then we could also encourage disingenuous rottimg shit socks like you to kill themselves, which i think would improve the experiences of trans kids, and whatever kids you like to fuck (20$ says he does; they always seem to), and probably the rest of us by a bit too.
