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.

Yes. We try to teach consent with my young children. When one is doing something to the other and they shout "no!" We point out that they are not consenting to whatever the other is doing.
Also, we have a phrase to help empower our children to say no when they're being tickled and no longer want it. We say, "no mas manos" (no more hands). They can also say "no," "stop," or any number of other things, but we've used this phrase to make a point of it. Sometimes they say no mas manos and then when we stop they say "mas manos" or "yes mas manos." To them it's a bit of a game, but to me they're getting to learn that it's exactly like a switch. When the switch is on, tickling is welcome. When the switch is off, tickling is no longer welcome and should immediately stop. They can choose for it to be on or off any time, and can switch in rapid succession--they get to decide.
