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.

My point is treat women like you're trying to make a friend, not like a person you are trying to date because you don't know enough about them as a person to even know if there will be a connection.
If you'd approach people you don't know for dates but not friendship, that's your own problem and maybe something to work on.
Women don't want to be liked for how they look, they want to be liked for who they are.
Hard disagree here. I love being liked for how I look.
I just don't put out because you say I look nice. It's a foot in the door at best, and only if you praise it in ways that don't come across like you're viewing me as a slab of meat with orifices.
I mean unless I'm in a hook-up joint, duh.
Fair enough!
Wanted to drop in and say I really appreciate your patient and well crafted responses in this thread! You get your points across in such an easy to read way. I really enjoyed the back and forth you had with others here :)
That is so kind, thank you!
I have to agree. @Banana@sh.itjust.works has been a real champ at actually conversing.
