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.

-Long lists of requirements in a partner.

-Expecting “entertainment” or for matches to have to prove themselves in some way.

-The majority of their profile is talking about things they hate.

-“Traditional gender roles” - nothing against this if it’s how both partners are happy, but it almost always translates to massive entitlement and avoidance of responsibilities.

-“Traditional gender roles”

I just thought of this: Whose traditions? 🤣

Im Jewish and while we do have "standard" traditional gender roles, we have:

  • Traditions where men take care of the kids and women work
  • Traditions where both of them take care of the kids
  • And finally (but also more traditionally Jewish), traditions where both work and the community takes care of the kids

In Judaism all of those are correct and traditional. However, in Judaism none of them are enforced by the torah (its more descriptive rather than prescriptive) so you can just ignore them and still consider yourself traditional.

I should have thought of that. "A lot of thou shalt not this, thou shalt not that" like an income tax return is definitely red flag territory.
