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.

At least my women coworkers in Ottawa were straight-up and in my face with their racism.
BFH: talking about Chinese people You know that they just don't value life like we do.
Everybody Else: looks at me sitting at the same damned table
BFH: Oh not you Dianne! We all know you're one of the good ones.
I'm better equipped to deal with that kind of naked aggression than I am at the kind that's quiet and sullen when I'm around but that pipes up when I'm out of the room.
I had to move half-way around the planet to get in touch with the half of my heritage that I'd drowned out (to the point of being a total banana) to even understand just how toxic it is to be a "visible minority" (and that term by itself now raises a huge number of red flags for me!) in Canada. So now I push back. Hard.
Speaking as the whitest bitch on the planet, and most generally compassionate person in my immediate family: i do not value 'life' literally at all, and i challenge anyone to give me a non-mystical explanation that's valuable in itself, and not just 'because it's a thing i am and im really clutching at straws to feel special and important'.
So now you can tell them that the most anti human life-devaluing bitch you ever met was white as fuck. And that i called you 'unrefrigerated meat'.
