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.

You may have been the boy made fun of for crying, who only got respect by reacting aggressively. Or you've been the angry girl who repeatedly got told, "you're so cute when you're mad," but whose bullies went silent once tears started to fall. Either way, the same emotions happen for all of us. It's just that as we grow up, boys are socially conditioned to respond with anger while girls are socially conditioned to respond with sadness, and we're each expected to suppress the opposite emotion.
This dichotomy is not fundamental to the sexes in the slightest.
