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.

yeah i used to be much more up in arms against misandry for the same reasons. it was really hard trying to be a man when i was really a woman inside, so i thought thats what it was like for all men. i also really hated having stereotypes that were basically the exact opposite of me applied to me just because i was perceived as a man. that shit really hurt. like yes im horny a lot but im not a heartless sex fiend or a rapist. i like kids but that doesnt mean im a pedo. i felt like i had to do so much hedging against male stereotypes because it felt like people were so ready to apply them to me even though i didnt fit them at all.

since transitioning i get it a lot more. i really didnt realize how differently men treat women in general, in a bad way. even men who dont know im a woman treat me differently since i started estrogen, like theyre subconsciously picking up on the vibe. the worst though is when men know im a trans woman. ive finally been cat called and it made me feel so uncomfortable. ive been asked how big my dick is more times than i care to count, though that is mostly just dating apps and chatting with randos online. i could list more of my experiences but i know ive barely scratched the surface compared to what cis women have gone through. i keep expecting these to be isolated incidents, to find most men are chill, but i keep being disappointed. so i get misandry much more now. its built brick by brick by horrible men treating women badly, until the inescapable conclusion is fuck men.
