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.

I've always preferred to present somewhat gender-neutral with all my online personas.

I used to do that, then decided "to Hell with hiding behind ambiguity". I decided, in short, that if sexist assholes want to treat me badly because of what I have between my legs they can rot in Hell. I block early and block often online these days.

Of course I don't have pictures of me online. (Two have leaked to the best of my knowledge, and the youngest of those is ... I want to say a dozen years old now?) My online name is not my real one (though someone who knows my real one will appreciate my choices in online IDs and probably get a giggle out of it). And since the wannabe dom incident of, like, 30 years ago, I do not share my phone number, address, employer, etc. to anybody online ever.
