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…

  1. 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.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

June is Pride Month! Do you feel you're on this scale? Or more of a mix of different ones?

According to the diagrams, holding your arms outward is feminine, but holding them inwards at your side in order to take up less space is masculine. Sounds backwards

You mean outward is backwards and inward is (straight)forward ? Or is it the other way around ?

I'm not a huge fan of this diagram because it also seems to imply that having a belly is somehow more masculine? Barbie girls can have big bellies too... Thinness isn't and shouldn't be a factor in feminity.
