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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
- 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.

Man or woman, I'll trudge through the mud just so I don't have to interact with any human in any conceivable way. 👍
Most men on Lemmy get extremely upset when women voice a general bad experience with men and why women take caution when interacting with / being around strangers who are men.
They actually seem to not even be able to comprehend what women have to go through on that front, so our caution seems overblown and absolutely ridiculous to them. They think we're paranoid, overreacting, or flat-out lying.
Bring up the "man or bear"-thing again on Lemmy. Go on. I fucking dare you. It apparently infuriates the vast majority and you will be dogpiled.
Huh. I could have sworn I brought it up before but I can't find it. I must have done so on Mastodon instead.¹
Sometimes I bring up topics so I can figure out who needs a good blocking. "Man or bear" is a perfect example of such a topic. 🤭
