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.

What do you mean?
it's a reference to this meme:
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog
Thank you for your comment, but this is a space for women only. Hope you understand. ❤️
I am not a man, and I did not say that I was. You must have misread. I said I am not femme -- i.e. I'm not girly.
It's fine. I am not insulted that you thought I was a man; I am not insecure about my gender. I'm used to people assuming I'm a man online, and I don't mind it. I prefer to avoid the harassment I get when I actively identify myself as a woman, which is why I don't put pronouns in my username.
Having a space where you aren't harassed by men is precisely the reason for the rule to exclude men ... You shouldn't have to hide who you are to avoid harassment, you should be able to feel safe to be yourself.
Oh absolutely. It bothers me -- that's why I wanted to mention this here.
