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.

At a bar or in the street:
I don't want to flirt back, but I am afraid he'll just keep getting more pushy or forceful. Anyone around can play diversion please?
I feel this, it feels dangerous to make a man upset or angry, or even disappointed - so you try to be super nice and polite, but then he just misreads your politeness as interest.
Because "no" is not in the vocabulary of so many men it's honestly a bit terrifying.
