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.

I think that if you have an extra dresser, and you think it would improve someone's life, you should not charge at all. Just give someone the dresser.
Wait! Are you talking about ...
MUTUAL AID!?!?
gasp
Where are my pearls. I must clutch them! The only moral thing is money, dammit!
I must apologize, I didn't mean to upset anyone with my extremest takes.
Sharing is evil, praise be the stock market gods.
🤣
I think that's a great sentiment, but there's a market for second hand goods. People need every cent in this economy and if someone is able to make a fair deal where both sides find the terms acceptable it's understandable to take whatever you can get out of the transaction. Not everyone with an extra dresser is rolling in cash and jumping into pools of gold. So long as they're not scamming people, I think it's fine to charge a reasonable amount, even if it's for an item they technically don't need anymore. If people can afford to give their items away that's obviously preferable, but I don't hold it against anyone if they want something in exchange.
