The hyphenated solution works with one proviso: already-hyphenated names have to pick one of the two.

Jane Doe marries Richard Ray. Children's family name: Doe-Ray. (Or Ray-Doe at their option.)

Alice Meeh marries Bob Fahr. Children's family name: Meeh-Fahr. (Or the reverse again.)

Jeffrey Doe-Ray marries Archibald Meeh-Fahr. Children's family name are, at the option of the parents (though we should probably demand consistency across children in the same family), one of Doe-Meeh, Ray-Fahr, Doe-Fahr, or Ray-Meeh.

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.
