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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
- 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.

^ this wording of the rule includes trans men who still identify as women. To be honest it hasn't been a problem, the rules are worded to allow them to choose whether they identify still as women or not and whether to participate here. Binary trans men who don't identify as women are men, and we would handle that on a case-by-case basis depending on the context. (Trans experiences and identities are complicated. If a trans man feels the need to discuss their life before transition when they lived as a woman, we aren't going to prevent them from commenting, this is largely a space for people who are treated as women in society afterall.)
To be honest the rule is mostly applied to cis men who ignore the rules and frequently comment here and sometimes get aggressive. We don't tolerate transphobia and are not trans-exclusive.
Fair enough. I'm not trans so I can't really say whether or not it makes sense. Just surprised me.
