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.

After decades of being interrupted and talked over, it beat me down to the point I had to take it constructively & accept my role in conversations. Best to keep my mouth shut unless directly addressed. 🤷🏼♀️
I gave up too, but found other ways around it ... mostly using email and talking with individuals involved after the meeting. Also, sneakily asking awkward questions to the worst offenders can help, and lastly getting male allies to nudge the conversation in the direction I want it as a last resort.
If someone doesn't read an email I come down on them like a ton of bricks.
