It is a skill I am working on developing. I’m used to being (probably overly) agreeable, but I’ve come to realize that a lot of people read that as weakness or naïveté and try to take advantage of it. I have a hard time threading the needle of being polite but firm.

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…
- 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.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Yep it's really tough. Niceness is seen as an opportunity to some people, but when we're taught to be nice it's hard to not be!
As I've gotten older, it's very true, but younger me put up with a lot of bullshit
this is me now
been told I'm legit one of the nicest people ever but I have a zero tolerance for any bullshit and I WILL get aggressive if I need to
