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.

Easy: Control. Let's talk about hijabs and bikinis. Islamic patriarchies want sisters to wear head coverings. To them, it is good. But some independent Islamic sisters want to wear hijabs as an expression of their own faith. To those same patriarchies, this is bad. Watch how the Islamic right falls in with the christian right when people express support for women choosing to wear hijabs. The belief was never that women should or shouldn't wear anything; it was that women should be forced to wear what men say, regardless of what they want. Bikinis. A lot of men hate sisters in bikinis, but will go home and goon over any bikini content tailored to them. Again, it's not that women should or should not show skin; men just want women to have no agency over their bodies.
Really illustrative example, thank you!
