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…
- 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.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

This is an op-ed piece, and NYT op-eds have always been godawful. I don't know why we care about it now, or why we're only just now using it to criticize the NYTs journalism (which has more than enough to criticize all on it's own) but that's where this has come from.
Edit: Not entirely relevant to the first point, but I just went and gave it a listen and... The above piece is fucking embarassing. Really. That they've had to change the title three times would seem to indicate they agree. It's the moderator (an absolute dickhead) and some conservative weirdo refusing to answer a very reasonable and simple question with just utter nonsense. Hopefully the justified backlash to this continues, and they eventually clue in and just take it down. Fucking joke.
You're a hero listening to that I'd end up chucking my phone across the room. It's funny NYT always seemed to have a good reputation shame it's not deserved
Their journalistic reputation is quite deserved - despite many valid criticisms, they do still do incredibly good and important journalism. Their opinion pieces ride the coattails of that work to make them seem like they have any value. I honestly do not think I have ever seen a NYT opinion piece that's not just absolute garbage.
The idea was to provide a counterpoint to the liberal 'bias' inherent to reporting all news - but that idea has long since stopped being reasonable, and it really needs to be just given up on.
