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.

I've been working on the habit of instead of getting frustrated or impatient, I take ownership of the interaction. I used to say things like "yeah I know" or "I'm aware" but now I'll say "that's correct". If it's not actually correct I'll do some um actually... of my own. If they don't get the hint from "yes, that's right" I'll just interrupt them and bring up whatever actual topic is the reason keeping me in the interaction. I'll ask a pointed question about something I genuinely need more information on, regardless of how unrelated it was from the original topic. If there's no reason to continue the conversation, I'll say "alright I should get going/actually I need to focus on this/I'm trying to get this done" and just entirely disengage or leave.
Maybe I seem eccentric, weird, bitchy or unusual but there were plenty of other clues.
