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.

What do you all think of a WomensStuff supporters group open to all genders? (piefed.blahaj.zone)

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

I prefer it the way it is now. I really wouldn't be happy with an automatic cross-post feature. Even if the WomensStuffSupporters community started off with good intentions, I could easily see it getting brigaded by sour men who are looking for targets for their misogyny. Just my two cents.

Yeah, I don't care if there's a "supporters" group created, but I definitely wouldn't join it and I'd really rather not have anything cross-posted to it automatically. If it's opt-in for the cross-posting, that's fine. That's called "consent" and I'm down with that.

Yes that would definitely have to be opt in
