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.

For me it's a toss up. Straight woman: don't have constant anxiety about my rights to love being stripped, can show affectation in public, less worries in work etc, However, relationship danger goes up. Gay woman: I become "controversial" and if my relationship is dangerous, I'm more likely to be trapped. Commitment phobia is far less likely though.

So it's a rock and a hard place
