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.

Wouldn't the word just be 'defeminize'? It's in the dictionary right their, either divestment or robbing of feminine qualities. Been around as a word since the late 1700s.
EDIT: also as mentioned, emasculate originally meant 'castrate', and we've just used it as a figure of speech so much that it means the same as 'feminize'.
If we want a word for giving someone a penis, I'm sure I we can come up with it easily. we could make it sound old-fashioned like 'enphallize' or something, or we could be modern and worldly and use something like 'futanize'
