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 don’t think the modern definition is clear at all. Which is why we are here.

I think the word should be decommissioned, as well as the concept of any gender treating any other gender differently than they would treat their own.

If someone asks, “how should a man treat a woman?” The answer should always be, “like a man would treat a man.”

Maybe I’m just too damn chivalrous. ;)

I just said the modern version is clearly different, not that the definition itself is clear.

....Do you think I'm arguing with you?

I don't agree that being chivalrous inherently means treating different genders differently.

I didn’t mean to sound as if this was an argument.

Ok cool, just checking. It's hard to read tone in text and sometimes I misjudge it!
