Some good suggestions already here, so I'mma put up my own queer fem experience;

  • Calling stuff "woke" in a negative sense. It's a pretty damn big code for "I hate people and blame my own insecurities on them". They might view us as "snowflakes", but when we get criticised, we actually tackle it (when it's constructive criticism), when they won't even take the latter one.

  • Being rude and verbally/physically violent, insisting. Being civil, compassionate, and accepting is a sign of better personality.

  • Not letting me finish my sentences or talking in noisy environments. Wait your damn turn or until I can understand you!

  • Smoking (don't care which type). I'm not going for someone who doesn't take care of themselves and also doesn't do that for others.

  • Being a self-proclaimed "sigma", "alpha" or whatever. Again, insecurity and toxic masculinity. Besides, real "sigmas" and "alphas" don't need to tell they're one. They emanate it by their confidence, kindness and compassion towards others.

  • Dismissing science, eg. being an antivaxxer. You're setting up people for abuse that way, as it hurts peoples' health, and spreads harmful falsehoods.

  • Only caring about sex. I'm a friend/partner, not your prospective fucktoy.

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…

  1. 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.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
