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.

The whole affair shows that the 'justice' system does not work. It was not fit for purpose to actually help these clearly damaged people and they needed something much better where neither side was going to 'win'. It was all for a spectacle, a show. We hated it at the time and hate it now. There was little point and they would have been better served by a restorative and transformative justice system out of the public eye. They both just needed to be kept away from each other as a result of any true justice system, and mental health etc help, and he definitely needed to pay her back.

The attention, hate etc wasn't useful for either of them and it shows a servere lack of actual justice in the current system because it is not at all built for it.

Absolutely. Nice court case should be decided by social media, it's just wrong.

Well, yes, but that's not really our point either. We're saying the courts themselves aren't fit for purpose in this either.
