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.

We are a women's only community, so please no male comments.

Edit: thanks all for reporting the hostile remarks! You really are an amazing group of people. Really appreciate how positive so many men have been as well. I see you all and value you ❤️

Ironically here white men are banned for speaking freely.

Maybe if you all stopped brigading, taking over, and drowning out all the womens' voices on a womens' community, that rule wouldn't need to exist. This isn't Reddit where it's more of an even split.

I'm not complaining, just pointing out an irony. Besides that, being banned for speaking out against sexism is a good thing for me.

Hi starman thanks so much for popping in! As you've knowingly broken the rules several times I have had to ban you. Hope you understand ❤️

It would only be ironic if the women of Lemmy were the most powerful people on the platform and used that power to silence men across the website. As it stands, women are a superminority on the fediverse, and men have the numbers to run roughshod on these communities and effectively prevent them from being spaces where women communicate with each other. This is an ongoing concern on c/witchesvspatriarchy, where thread after thread gets derailed from its original purpose by men. The goal isn't to censor you so much as defend ourselves. So it's not ironic.

Especially since c/menslib could make its community men-only and you wouldn't hear any complaining from me.
