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

For me? Having a dating profile. 🤣

More seriously:

  • Anything manosphere-reeking. Instant "no go zone".
  • Emphasis on looks over personality (both in himself and in his descriptions of who he's looking for).
  • Inability to articulate.
  • No sign of any kind of intellectual life: everything's physical.
  • Any mention of a recent ex. Sorry, but that's a minefield I'm not crossing ever again.

Yup to all that!

I'd add to that that if you do send a message that's well thought out and light hearted, and they send back something lazy and/or thoughtless, then don't bother replying.
