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.

What's funny is I haven't had that sort of attention in a long long looong time. But in Asia, every time I pass a cafe where there's a group of men, I get an invitation to join them for a drink.
And I've fallen right back into old habits - give them a smile and wave, with apologetic body language, but carefully maintain a distance and carrying on walking.
If it wasn't so hot I could wear a baggy T-shirt and trousers, and I wouldn't get any of this.
In most places in Asia you're in a lot less physical danger than in North America, but it's still unnerving and off-putting as Hell when that happens, yes.
Yeah, I haven't felt in any real danger, even when walking around at night in places without any street lights ... but I was surprised that my old reactions came back automatically.
