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.

I can definitely help with this👍

For general talking points:

  • reducing phone apps always running in the background, beeing choosy with which apps should have "Background Data Usage" allowed/enabled.
  • what kinds of apps to install? Proprietary vs Open Source? (most if not all proprietary apps will collect and sell any data they can, free proprietary apps means you are the product)
  • Who do I know that has been consistently trustworthy online? Can I ask them for help?
    • try to provide the least amount of Personally Identifying Information (PII) if possible, no need to share entire life stories unless you're sure you can trust the person online.

I'm sure I know more about this as I personally try to help my friends and family protect themselves, just can't think of more to add atm.

Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions🤗
