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.

Ah, and I just remembered something I wanted to add on. One thing my dad did do right when I was a kid is he refused to enforce traditional gender roles. I'm trans and in spite of him not supporting that specifically, he did let me have a doll house, have my hair long, let me try makeup, etc. Because of that once I grew up, I found myself mystified when I realized that gender roles were even a thing, and wondered why anything had to be gender specific in the first place.
