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 [email protected] 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.

yeah, ironically femmephobia seems common among self-described feminist women, as though the way to be a good feminist is to shed femininity as chains. (Unfortunately I was one of those femmephobic feminists, for a period - Julia Serano is who cured me of that.)
though I certainly wouldn't want to call feminism just the process of making femininity equal to masculinity (reproductive rights after all are feminist but not about femininity), I think it's important to call out the need for taking femininity seriously as a part of feminism
You are totally right, its not an all-encompassing definition. It is a good sound-bite, especially for people who feel like they don't benefit (or even lose something) from feminism.
I like it, betrays the assumptions about feminism in a good way 💟
