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.

I disagree with this sentiment that you are trying to convey. If language has to have intent assumed outside of context especially if the context is no -- "no" should just be said and that should be respected fully.

I mean if you're in a situation and they say "I have a boy/girlfriend" you could say "is that a no?" If for some reason you think it might not be.

It must be nice to live in a world where there are zero men who behave like mental toddlers in the bodies of, well, men who become a real threat when told simple words like "no".

Most of us don't live in that world, but are insanely jealous of those of you who apparently do.

Should is doing a lot of work here. Sadly no isn't respected still.

While I agree with you in principle, unfortunately a lot of people feel pressured to "soften the blow" from learned experiences or trauma or whatever else might be the case, as it's not always the case that people take "no" for an answer and handle it respectfully. It's a defense strategy
