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
A lot is just the mentality of what patriarchy means. Men who think women are lower in the hierarchy which gives them the right to do what they think is right, to dismiss those who they think of as lesser and to exercise that natural power over them which they think they have. And anything that threatens their perceived superiority through dissent or non-compliance is met with violence and abuse - mental or physical. As the ones on top they decide what they think is appropriate is the answer and that their worth is shown by how much they can impose themselves on others and make them feel smaller, to bow down to their superiority. And when that comes to lust and sex, this is the most masculine of things for them so when people don't immediately go weak at the knees and want them it hurts them and their fragile ego and they lash out with violence.
And this is why I honestly believe trans people of all flavours are a big part of the answer. They cause that fragile worldview to crumble - people they view as superior "choosing" to relinquish that power and those who they view as born inferior coming to join them and showing them just how pathetic they really are.
