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.

Disability pride is over so we need a new banner! What are peoples suggestions? Doesn't necessarily have to be something "official", a few wonderful people here are artists so I'm open to showcase their work.

Just let me know your suggestions by commenting here or DM!

That windows xp desktop wallpaper

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

An, with permission, picture of women, in a sequence, of all types: Black, Brown, East Asian, Indigenous to both Aotearoa and Turtle island etc, Trans (not necessarily passing), disabled etc. If no permission is given then one of that type drawn by an actual artist, no 'AI' bullshit (that goes for the photo one too).

Edit: Bonus points if they are either all holding hands, or their body language is accepting of the others etc.

I agree no AI. Unless we can find a picture like that, or someone offers to draw one, we're knackered though

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are there any artists we could reach out to?

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't know any personally 😕

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Are you on mastodon? If so I'm sure a public post asking for some would work.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No not on it, do you know of any active art communities on lemmy?

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not really where artists share their own stuff much. We could ask friends or on mastodon ourselves, if you want.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That would be great if you could!

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Okidoke, we'll get on that soon.

Hi @LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone Hi, I'm an artist! (°▽°)/ I don't currently have time to draw somewthing new, but I have an old illustration about diverse women, I can share it tomorrow, and if you like it you can use it!

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That would be lovely Eyes thanks so much! Love the idea of showcasing members talents

[–] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Glad I can contribute! I'll hunt down my file and edit it to banner size later today!

Awesome thanks so much!

I found some images in the spirit of the suggestion, i.e. showing diverse women:

Obviously none as specific as the original suggestion, and racial differences are more visible than sexuality, (dis)ability, etc. so they show up more - but I still think in a pinch it's OK to not let the perfect sacrifice the good, so to speak.

Those are great finds thanks 😊

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

These are good but can we have the links so we can both ensure they aren't AI and to pay the artists if not? If we go with them, that is.

We are currently reaching out to artists to see if any can and would make something for us.

I searched on DDG using the No AI and All Creative Commons filters,.

[–] oftheair@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Okay, thank you. Strange that some adobe and vectorstock stuff is in there.

[–] foxglove@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

the filters definitely aren't perfect - either way, the sites that were hosting these images didn't seem like the owners / makers of the images, they were image hosting sites mostly.
