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 one particularly bugs me when the woman is shown to be a capable, independent badass in her own right, but just as her story is getting going, as @Lumidaub@feddit.org put it, her story is cut short.
So that the "real hero" can start his.
It is so maddening when it happens, and while it is not exclusively the domain of American superhero comics, it is by far worst right there.
One of my biggest gripes with the Guardians of the Galaxy Gunn-ification. In the comics, the characters are actually competent, if uncouth and often anti-heroes. The movies turn them all into bumbling idiots, and Gamora, a no-bullshit, "will walk through a star, burn her skin off, then knock you out afterwards" badass, is a "soft-on the inside" love interest that gets fridged for not not one, but two guys. That scene with Thanos in Infinity War still pisses me off.
