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.

Absolutely, fear isnt just physical threat, it's fear of being kept up all night rowing, being accused of cheating, guilt tripping etc
Yeah and it goes beyond fear though. I've been abused by someone who negotiated my every no beginning with me saying no to a relationship with her. It's not consent if you have to talk people into every step of the way. It's not consent if you guilt people into sex or relationships. And it's not consent if people are afraid you'll hurt yourself if they say no
Absolutely, consent has to be freely given ir it's not consent. I'm sorry you had that experience and I'm glad you survived
Freely given, reversible, informed, and enthusiastic. https://myweb.sabanciuniv.edu/pouyazoghipour/2024/09/30/what-are-the-4-pillars-of-sexual-consent/

Note: WomensStuff is a trans inclusive women's only community
It's just an implication of danger.
