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.

Pervasive crippling depression.

I'm trans btw. That probably colors my perspective at least a bit.

Food powered forklift.

Hm 🤔

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 month ago

The first word could be a sexual act as well, but I thought that would be crass.

My s/o after some thought: "Protective, strong-willed... hot? I dunno? Why are you asking me this?" edit: Sorry I saw this in /new, didn't realize I should not be posting here via rule #1, I'll see myself out.

Ideally? Mature, secure, kind.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Yep I'd go protective, respectful, kind

[–] SparkleBooty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Those are good ones

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly? It's so mixed depending on the person, but the bad is burnt into my brain. So I immediately thought frightening, protective, dangerous. Cos I've met a range of men but the bad really do stay with you

[–] SparkleBooty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Protective is a good one !

Question. Is. Trap.

the quick words that came to my mind:

showmuscle, anger, horny

That's not a particularly good description of masculinity 🤔

With more reflection I choose these:

showyoke, sword, seed

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

anguish, depression, pain

[–] krunklom@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Deez sweaty nutz

[–] Queen___Bee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Chivalry, hardness (of features), simplicity

[–] SparkleBooty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

These are very nice, I like these :)
