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.

I don't think urban planning counts as governmental politics, it's no more political than feminism as a whole and that's surely allowed on this community.
I agree with you that poor urban planning and a lack of "third spaces" is certainly something that contributes to our society-wide problems. But I don't think it's the sole cause, or even an especially large one. I've heard similar stories in Europe. And Japan, for instance, has much better urban planning, and highly walkable cities, third places to go for community -- I visited the neighbourhood only once, but the lesbian bars in Shinjuku were a blast -- yet isolation is an even worse problem there.
