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.

There are people claiming there isn't much misogyny on lemmy? Have they been here?
They have, but they're men so they don't see it because it's not directed at them.
Of course if even the slightest hint of criticism of men shows up, they feel personally attacked and it's misandry.
It's like early reddit in here. Bunch of nerdy gamer mysogynists. At least everyone feels like real people.
Yeah I love it for feeling real, but I do miss the mid-late 10s reddit era, not the early reddit era.
The thing I missed most when switching over here is women's spaces
There's !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone and probably others.
EDIT: (fuck didn't realize I was already here lollll need to pay more attention)
You know I've heard a lot about that place :p
Fr though I'd much rather this kind of people not knowing they're here than the majority of what we get lol
That's this place :)
Do you know of any others?
There's !badwomensanatomy@lemmy.blahaj.zone (for making fun of ignorant people). That's the only one I've seen much of although just searching for "women" and filtering for communities on a preferred instance seems to be a good start.
Ooh that's a good one! Thank you!
There's also the Lemmy Explorer.
Saaaaame. So much the same here. Which is another reason I'm such a pain in the ass when sexism is allowed here. Because I want to help build a space that welcomes women as well.
And it's like, if we (humans, collectively) want to make our spaces welcoming and safe, then we (again, humans) need to actively police our spaces to enforce the kind of social norms that we want; community building takes work, after all.
But bloody hell, it's exhausting when that typically just means that we (women) are expected to do a disproportionate amount of the emotional and social labour. Quelle surprise
Is there going to be a gentrification that happens when forums get larger or attract more users?
In some ways, I hope so. There should be some second thinking happening before comments are posted, particularly those looking for a quick joke at the expense of a marginalized group.
Framing it as gentrification is interesting.
