reddit has /r/TwoXChromosomes which is one of my favorite subs. It's a general womens subreddit, and though it obviously leans feminist it's not its main purpose. It welcomes all genders, but remains a womens space.
The fediverse could really use that energy.
There's also /r/WitchesVsPatriarchy which is also very strictly woman-centered.
Damn women appropriating witchdom. Excluding boywitches just reaffirms the patriarchy's gendering of magic. It's re-inventing the same gender roles.
I'm sorry, what?
It's women-centered because it's "against patriarchy"... not because it's witchy. And they are trans & queer inclusive as well.
I think it would be even more against patriarchy if it was enby centered. They should change that.
You need to stay away from feminism and enby activism entirely until you've humbled yourself and seriously sat with how problematic this take is.
You're not helping anybody with that. Least of all enbies/trans people. And not just because it makes us look bad either, though that's certainly part of it.
I don't know how problematic this take is, and since you can't explain how it is, I'm convinced you don't either. You're just having an emotional reaction to deviation from the gender binary's norms, which construct womanhood as the opposite of manhood.
