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.

We're taught to be hard on ourselves, and not see the positives in us and our lives. Let's take a moment to look at rhe good. We make great decisions sometimes! What's the best one you ever made?

it's so nice to be accepted for who you are!

I have a little social media presence on WeChat and QQ, but not on Xiaohongshu, no. I don't use commercial social media of any kind very often, so never saw a need to sign up.

Little note about XHS, though: when that flood of Americans signed up in defiance of the TikTok ban, Chinese social media everywhere lit up with people admonishing users to be polite and kind to the Americans to give them a good impression of Chinese people.

Picture the reverse and Twatter …

fair! I wasn't a tiktok or instagram or facebook user because of their policies but i checked XHS out when i saw people here on lemmy talk about them. It's an oasis compared to what i have experienced on those other platforms because it's mostly women and when you report folks being shitheads (mostly Americans and Russians) the reports are actually dealt with in a timely fashion!

Congrats to you on finding acceptance it seems like a lovely country.

It is by no means a perfect country. (I don't believe such exists.) But I've been happier here than anywhere outside of my five years in Germany as a teen.

I once though "microaggressions" weren't a thing, let's put it that way. Until I came here and found out that I'd been burdened by them for practically my entire life to the point I thought that was just how life worked. The load being lifted was ... nice.
