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.

It's statistically far, far more likely to be directed at women.

Do you have any idea where you're commenting?

I've had guys stop me on the street and demand I smile. I felt like an animal at the zoo.

That's when you have to give them the most insane, full tooth, homicidal smile while asking them their blood type because surely someone who looks like them has nice kidneys and they'll fetch a great price at the local black market organ swap meet.

I watched this and dogma recently. God I love Kevin Smith and Jason Mews. Oh, I watched Zack and Miri too.

As an introvert, I have been told the same thing. Not meant to invalidate women’s experiences with this phenomenon.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Buncha women talking about an annoying trend that disproportionately affects women. You hop in with "This doesn't just happen to women." Yeah, that is invalidating.

Are you posting in the right community?

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Are you invalidating my experience? I’m a person too.

[–] Wren@lemmy.today 4 points 2 days ago

Yes. Go share your experience somewhere else.

You’re more than welcome to make your own post to talk about this. In a completely different community.
