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.

Some people prefer really formal places, with clear corporate policies and procedures. Other people like more laid back, make it up as you go along. Some like pressurised, some don't. What culture do you like?

I can't do formal places, it's just not me. I'm too different, chatty and plain speaking. Its difficult cos banter is often a cover for bullying, and obviously I want professionalism in a workplace. I've tried being reserved and it's not me, so I gravitate to workplaces where it's laid back and people have fun

The sad reason that this isn't every workplace is that, for some people, it's too nuanced a concept to say "you can be yourself so long as you're not crass, bigoted or violent". Any workplace over a certain size has to implement the more limiting but easier to understand rule of "leave your personality at the door".

Yes absolutely!
