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.

Target the manosphere archetypes and they just become martyrs. Screaming for your rights as a woman unfortunately does little to convince those already too far gone. Ostracizing misogynists just leads to misogyny support groups that are self-reinforcing. That said, I believe in the power of shame.
It's going to be hard and it's going to take a long time. Respected men will have to take a visible stance, champion women's voices, and promote compassion - even for people who suck. Kids need more spaces outside the internet to hang out, too, and those are slowly being erased since free third spaces don't have a profit margin. Having diverse friends is a great way to learn compassion for diverse people, but equally important is recieving compassion from diverse people.
