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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
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.

I feel like men can do all of those things, so I don't see why we are excluding them. Just because it's a women-centric community doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed. I think we should exclude people who are bigoted instead, or even people who just don't "get" women's issues.

Aside: I'm personally irritated that make-up is what's considered a woman-centric topic. That's kind of reductive -- not everyone is femme.

Sure, but a man can claim to be feminist and still challenge and talk over women’s perspectives…

Ask me how I know this, for example.

I've been in women's groups that welcomed men. 80% of the talking was done by the 20% of men in attendance.

Sometimes you just need a place to vent without getting #notallmen-ed. And sometimes you want to hear your own voice and the voices of those like you instead of someone else's.
