I'm all in favour of it, but I don't know how I feel about the crossposting feature.
WomensStuff
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.
I'd be concerned about too, people can post in both if they want to. I really wouldn't want someone posting for support without realising it could be duplicated.
I'm not comfortable with the gender exclusion we currently have. It's one thing to have a space that is just for one group of people (women). But that's not what we have. The group welcomes nonbinary and trans men; everyone who is not a cis man. So instead of being exclusionary in favor of one group, it's exclusionary against one group, and that doesn't sit right with me.
You can point to the abusive and inappropriate comments we get as proof of why this is necessary - but we're getting those anyway. At this point, the only people being excluded are our allies.
Just my two cents. I know I'm in a minority.
I like the idea of two communities. It is handy to have a dedicated community of just women, who sometimes have a different perspective than men on the same topic. Cross posting seems unnecessary to me, but I'm not actively opposed to it.
Great thanks 😊
