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 think men don’t really understand how we just have a low-key sense of fear when we’re around men, just all the time.
I’m waiting for some man to come in here being all “not all men!”
Sure. Fine. Not all men.
But enough men that this is a big fucking worry.
Bingo
As a father of two daughters, it fucks with me hardcore knowing that the majority of women will experience some form of sexual assault in their lives.
Buddy, no. Please let us women just have one community. It says in the rules that men shouldn’t be here.

Thanks mate 👍
Hi forgott protective dads are one of my favourite things in the world! We are trans inclusive women only though so please don't post again.
Have you found!dadforaminute@lemmy.world it's our twin community they're our official male cheerleaders, people post when they need their dad. You'd make great contributions there!
I've had boyfriends shocked when they found out, during the course of getting intimate, that I actually do carry a knife with me at all times. They're such sheltered little dears, aren't they, able to go through life without worrying if that man over there is going to be the one who assaults you or worse because you "wore the wrong clothes" or "said the wrong thing" or even just "looked at him with the wrong expression"?
Yep and how much the fear is justified. It's constant. Don't go anywhere alone at night, text your friends when you're going on a date, be unbelievably careful how you reject a man etc etc etc
I was about to comment this as well. I've always been kind of weak, but transitioning made me even more so and I quickly realized how easy it would be to get overpowered. Being around men definitely puts me on edge as well.
I gave my wife anxiety by moving through life blissfully unaware after transition. I was blessed to have only positive experiences for a time.
A few conversations and experiences later and I take more precautions.
When I learned just how frequently sexual harassment and assault happens, it was an eye opening, and heart breaking, revelation.
Thanks for your comment, but this community is intended to be women-only, meaning only women are permitted to comment or post, so please refrain from continuing to comment here, thanks! 💚
