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.

What an impossibly difficult rule to enforce. Sexist too, while we're at it. But whatever. You keep doing you, queen

It does seem that some men find it impossibly difficult to follow the rules around here, I agree.

[–] Zibitee@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Cmon now. You put a publically advertised forum that gets displayed everywhere and then you gatekeep people based on their perceived gender. There's no way for you to check their gender and let's face it, people are not going to read the rules of every forum they visit, especially for Lemmy. You're being unfair and if you can't see that, then there's no hope for you.

Isn’t everyone expected to follow the rules of the communities they’re posting and commenting in?

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In fact most Lemmy instances have a pretty bog standard terms of service/community rules/whatever that specifically say this, yes. That not only must they abide by the rules of their instance but that they must also abide by the rules of the group.

But this concern troll (who is certain that we're "making feminism look bad" by telling men who barge into a women's space uninvited and against the rules to fuck off) barges into a women's space uninvited to concern troll and is shocked ... SHOCKED! ... to find that some of us are fed up to the fucking gills with his kind and tell him to fuck off.

Hahahaha pretty clear to me!

I don't get it either. It is like building your "safe space" on a highway and then complain about the drive-bys.

The technology is inherently not made for the way it is used here so I guess it is more a powermove.

"I was oppressed in my life and so now I do it to the people that oppressed me"

Otherwise this doesn't make sense to me.

If the technology isn’t made to be used to allow communities to set their own rules, why is following the rules of a community an inherent part of participating in the fediverse?

Would you similarly insist on being allowed to participate in a women’s book club? Women’s hour at the local pool?

Oh it's that crazy person again. Hello crazy person, you already proven to me that talking to you is a waste of time. Not interested in an exchange with someone who just makes up stuff and then claims that their fantasies are my intention.

Bye crazy person, hope you get well soon!

OK, let's make this clear.

FUCK. OFF.

You are not welcome here.

FUCK. OFF.

Your opinions are not welcome here.

FUCK. OFF.

There is no silent majority what wants you here.

FUCK. OFF.

Is that clear, Sparky?
