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.

I was rendered mathematically declined by teachers who had internalized "girls are bad at math". If a boy struggled in a math class he got support and aid from the teachers. If a girl struggled in the same math class there was this casual dismissal "it's too much for your pretty head". (Not vocalized in those words, but still clear nonetheless.)
By the time I had a math teacher who didn't treat things this way, I hated maths. I can learn them when I need them for something, but I will never enjoy the process.
It makes me so sad when children are talked out of their potential.
