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.

Bit higher level, but this should cover arguably 50% of tech safety risks: other people.
Section 2.2 of this, and maybe section 2.4

Edit:
Also, disable everything you don't need in settings, everywhere (apps, entire systems, etc). If you don't know what it is, and the description sounds like a non-security setting, disable it anyway and hope nothing breaks. If something does break, read up on the setting more and assess the risk of enabling it again.
Device hardening like that makes you a harder target, and unless you're important or somebody hates you, they'll give up quickly.
Blimey I looked at permissions and there were loads of things that had access to things they shouldn't. Then looked at apps and I've got ones sharing info and I've no clue why they're on the phone at all. Nice one!
Lot of weird stuff out there. Samsung wont let the basic camera app function without location access IIRC, as an example
