Part of the problem is that we don't have many elders in the community to model proper behaviour. They were murdered. Murdered by inaction on the AIDS crisis, by the gay panic defence, by lack of access to healthcare. The average new person in the community is a 20 year old getting advice on proper behaviour from other 20 year olds. Now that's great for validating their gender identity, but it's not so good for teaching respect in a relationship. We've got a bunch of traumatised kids making horrible mistakes and doubling down on them.

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.
