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.

Controversial haha

IKR? Sometimes I feel like I'm loosing my marbles because the conversations (like this one) are so far away from the ones we should be having.

Obviously, this person was right in calling out the problem, but I really hope we can have more discussions about root causes and solutions that don't involve the victim/survivor just choosing better.

Edit: I didn't mean to be critical of the discussions in this post. I was just thinking more generally

This is a clash as old as time. An argument between "the world should be like X" and "but the world is like Y".

When I was younger I was on the idealistic (should be) side. A few decades of watching people get mangled by how life actually is, however, has me on the side of "be aware and be ready" (is) side.

The scars are on the inside.
