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.

MODERATORS
All of those have historical roots. Screws use the ought gauge because they were made from wire which came in those sizes. Not because it is arbitrary, because there was no metric standard, and your screws and bits had sizes based on wire sizes.
All these measures are slowly being forced out or realigned with metric. We no longer get a pint of soda, we get some number of millimeters and a strange fraction of ozs.
Definitely one of those odd useless hills to die on.
