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 think ones beliefs about the world and ones place in it, if deeply held or thoroughly lived cannot help but seep into their general exercise of life, especially sexuality, especially aspirational desires.

In my experience even discourse of self can be a huge factor.

You can see this in the sex lives of women in east/west Berlin when it split.

The christofascist¹ woman is not, to herself, a person in the same way she might be to you or I, and certainly not in the same way I am to myself. I'm too fucking tired to look too deep into that abyss without everything blurring right now, but I'm sure somebody here has been that; maybe they can tell us how their sexuality, what gives them pleasure, experience of pleasure, and concept of what pleasure even is have changed since embracing their humanity. If they feel safe doing so.

This is of course my excuse for not fucking; I've just become too radical. Nothing to do with my profoundly bitter repulsive personality or having all the interpersonal grace and consideration for collateral damage you might find in 'operation crossroads'
