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.

I'm a big fan of just the rainbow it's all of us together. If we expand it to include groups we're by nature excluding some. I see it as we all stand together under the flag.
The silver lining to the anti trans bile is how many people stand with the T because they see what the community is dealing with. I think some of the reason the bile is so bad is people can see the world is changing, trans are accepted more and the bigots feel they're losing.
I think the progress pride flag is an acknowledgement of the unfortunate inequality present in our community specifically. LGBTQ+ has made huge strides in acceptance since the start of the gay rights movement, but most of those benefits have gone to cis and/or white members of the community, while trans people and POCs are the ones putting their bodies on the line for those rights disproportionately. I like seeing the progress flag out and about as a promise that we see those sidelined groups and we will champion their rights as hard as we champion our own. I hope there's a day when we don't need to make that promise explicitly, but I fear it may be a long time coming.
Those are great points! If nothing people should pick the version of the flag that's right for them. Self identification is crucial!
For me there is comfort in knowing for sure that people flying the progress flag support trans rights to some degree, but I do like the rainbow flag too! They fly it all around town in all of June and it really does make me happy to see.
Yes I get that
