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.

Sorry for maybe sounding ignorant, but I just never got the reason to describe myself as "we" as that would mean plural for me - so either in a majestic way or lunatic way ;-)
What's the difference to just say everything with "I'm"
As far as I understand "I" isn't gender specific, so wouldn't matter what you identify with, but at least it's singular and matching for the single person I'm speaking with.
What do I miss here?
Thanks upfront for the clarification!
So plurality is not 'lunacy' but a mental difference, in which there are multple entities or people etc living in the same brain/body. It can either be disordered or not, that being the crux of whether it's a 'problem' or not. Though even if it is disordered that can be resolved without destroying etc the rest of the people/entities through therapy, like most mental health difficulties can (though to be clear the plurality is not the mental health difficulty in and of itself, but in disordered systems the thing behind why they exist in the first place is the mental health difficulty).
The difference is we are plural, but not the disordered type. If you'd like to learn more then you can here: https://morethanone.info/.
We hope this helps!
Thank you very much!
they might identify as "plural"
We do identify as plural, it says so in our profile 🙂
