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.

Even just going with the makeup thing: they're pure contrarians on that point. If they see someone with makeup they prefer women without it. If they see someone without makeup they prefer "a bit of" makeup.

Basically the whole makeup thing is purest gaslighting.

In my experience, if they see someone with "natural" makeup, they think she isn't wearing makeup at all and that's what they mean by preferring no makeup.

Yep! They don't understand how much effort just that is

It's been up 3 hours and we've not had one Manosphere comment. I'm genuinely surprised.

Spoke too soon, I see. 🤣

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

Yep I jinxed it, sorry everyone!

And right away men jump in. Because the poor little dears can't help themselves: they simply MUST talk when one of those rare "thought" things cross what passes for their mind.

Women have every right to be outspoken, wear makeup, become muscular and have short hair.

There's a reason why testosterone supplements are a controlled substance, but estrogen supplements are not.

Yes, there is a reason but it's nothing to do with it being dangerous or anything. It's because of doping in sports, that's all.
