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.

MODERATORS
I disagree that banning men is the same thing as a safe space. If there is a something in particular that men tend to be doing when they post which you dislike, that should be the thing which is banned -- and that's what makes the space safe. For instance, if they say something misogynistic, then yeah, ban. I can't say for sure from experience, but I would imagine for the mods it's easier to recognize something bannable which is inherent to the comment than it is to figure out whether or not a poster is male.
Tree structured forums are by their nature robust to the "derailing" problem IMO. If there's a comment which you find to be derailing the conversation... simply fold that comment, and all responses to it will disappear from your screen.
