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.

Any interest in a female focused book club or watch party group? (lemmus.org)

I know we're small, but would there be enough people here interested in committing to a book club or maybe just a movie or show watching group? The book club could maybe be for short stories to start, or less than one book a month. Something manageable and low pressure. A movie or tv group would be one movie a month. I have a lot on my lists that I don't have a lot of irl friends interested in. Would love to have a place to chat about that media with women who have also experienced the media. I could take this to book communities, but I'd like to increase my consumption of media related to women so I feel like there might be some natural interest here.

I don't believe in my ability to commit to a book (but might want to try anyway), but I love the idea and support discussions anyway!

Thank you for letting me know! If the show option becomes more doable than the book option, I might suggest some tangents videos as contenders. The comments sections of the videos seem pretty sparse of actual discussion, so I'd be interested to see what ladies here have to think for some of them.

oo, yeah - definitely anything ContraPoints I'm down to talk about - at this point I've seen almost everything she has made (except her AMAs and some of her older videos that are no longer listed).

I definitely want to read a book, I'm just admitting my life is insane right now and I haven't even been doing my normal reading because of the chaos, so being realistic I temporarily might find it difficult to commit to reading much, though the desire is strong and present, lol.
