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.

Essentially. Behavior comes from a few sources. Environmental/learned sources as well as biological. So if it isn’t wired into you, you learned it somewhere. This is true for everyone.
That's really really simplified. 'Nature' and 'nurture' are not separate, except things like sneezing, shivering, and blinking.
Of course it’s simplified. And that’s exactly what I said. Biological needs include things our bodies do, need, seek. Things that keep us alive.
This is my field, so I always hesitate to comment because I feel like I’m going to nerd out, or have to have this conversation where we get into ontogenetic and phylogenetic stuff.
This is do simplified as to be the kind of thing that fuels dipshit misinformation–maybe you don't talk to a lot of idiots, but I do.
And I for one would be pretty enthusiastic to read an expert nerding out. Sound off in the comments; anyone NOT interested in reading this jerk nerd out?
