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.

Hey all! A male supporter has offered to open a community called WomensStuffSupporters that all genders can reply to. That gives men somewhere to show support that isn't here and also make here easier to moderate.

There's the option to X post from one to another, which is wouldn't want to happen automatically as some people wouldn't like that.

What do you all think of the idea? I'll leave this post up for a while before a decision is made.

Edit: you can message me if you don't want to say publicly. I won't let people know you contacted me, I'd just potentially say someone messaged saying they did/didn't want it

Broadly speaking, kiwifarms is also a community where men comment on mirred posts from other social media sites, which tells me that it's potentially a disaster waiting to happen.

I'd live in fear of men crossposting to make fun of or criticize things I write without my knowledge.

yeah, I almost mentioned that the possibility of men x-posting and discussing women-only community posts is still there, but I figured why encourage or automate it - part of the point of a women-only community is to alleviate pressure from men, to have a space where you don't have to deal with men's perspectives or feel like men are going to react to your comments, and so on.

So if that's part of the purpose of this community, x-posting every post to a mirror community where men are commenting on every woman's post feels like a violation of that purpose.
