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.

Jesus christ. I saw a thread in some other community the other day about Women's Stuff and the men wah-wah-wahing like little babies about this sub were ridiculous. Same thing - in that thread some man was saying that when he replied to threads here he felt like he had to walk on eggshells.
You guys, all we want is one tiny corner of lemmy to ourselves. Somewhere we can talk about things that uniquely affect us -or- perhaps they affect men too but they affect us in a unique way due to our gender. And many men are cool with this concept and generally supportive (and a sincere thank you to those guys!) but a significant number are butthurt little babies about being unwanted here.
Those are the same butthurt little babies in the Fox News poll. If you can't keep it civil in the workplace I don't know what to tell you other than you're a low-quality human. Have some fucking empathy.
Edit: here's the post I was talking about.
99.44% of Lemmy is dominated by men.
One group out of thousand (maybe even tens of thousands by now!) asks men not to post.
The more emotional gender melts down.
It's the circle of life.
I looked at that thread earlier and there were so many disgusting comments in there. It reminds me of why I left reddit a few years ago. The API changes and discussion of alternate places led me here, but I left primarily because of all the rampant misogyny, transphobia, racism, etc and the mods and admins who refused to do anything about it.
I really enjoy Blåhaj and the mods and admins here who actually care about kicking out bigots.
Also feel like this is very relevant here:
This, I miss the old Late Stage Capitalism Reddit circa 2016, 2015. I wish I could join a forum with those people again
Or just talk about things without every single thread being about men and their shitty brittle little feelings and having to explain shit to them constantly because they're dumber than rocks.
Kinda typing this on rocks right now, and they retain informatuon pretty well.
Yep! They have the whole rest of lemmy to hang out in we're literally ONE group. I saw the thread but I was heartened to see how many men were standing up for is, plus a man warned me about the thread so we could protect ourselves. There were so many men there moaning that they couldn't come here and tell us we were wrong.
Both genders have the exact same amount of lemmy to hang out in. I dont understand why this community is so public if its meant to be a safe space. You can't just post a sign that says "gurlz only" and expect it to actually work as a deterrent.
Thanks so much for dropping by! Ive had to ban you due to your behaviour, I hope you understand ❤️
You dont know what the hell you're talking about, ask a trans guy, someone who has had both sets of experiences and whom you may actually listen to.
Love this, these men on Lemmy need some feminism 101 and some training. This is good for them and will improve the Lemmy community overall. (Which is why the misogynists are mad about it)
Lol i'm still getting replies whining about how it's worse than hilter
To be fair, hilter was the wooooorst ;)
Getting an error on your link, but maybe that's for the best.
I wonder if that post was deleted - if so, then it's definitely for the best!
Unfortunately the link doesn't work, could you tell me the name of the community? I've recently started using Reddit again because I lacked female content so much, knowing that such a community exists is amazing and I want to join
I would guess the link was to a post on the lemmyshitpost community on lemmyworld. There was a meme that mentioned this community and is now gone.
It was a meme about writing a "banger" comment and then deleting it to respect the women's only rule. Discussion did what you would expect.
This community here at womensstuff is a women's only place that is quite nice.
This is the community. The link is to another thread elsewhere where they were complaining about this community
