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, thanks for your comment SanctimoniousApe - just wanted to let you know this community is women-only and we have a rule that only women are permitted to comment or post, so please refrain from commenting here again. Thanks so much, and hope you understand 💛

I do understand, but don't agree. IMHO, if my contributions are otherwise valid, then my actual gender should be irrelevant. Especially in a forum open to public view and participation, preventing someone who may have valid input from responding just because of their gender seems absurd to me.

I usually browse "All Posts" (across all servers & communities) by default without much concern for what specific community I'm looking at in order to avoid locking myself into echo chambers (among other benefits of seeing posts I might otherwise not see). I'm deliberately attempting to avoid limiting what types of perspectives I see so that I can strive to be as well-rounded & informed a person as I can manage to be.

Regardless, I've no desire to cause trouble. Therefore I will block your community in order to ensure I don't unintentionally stir the pot.

Chao.
