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.

There are several good female characters in the Stargate Universe. Obviously Sam Carter, but also e.g. Elisabeth Weir and Vala. A lot of strong female leaders among the various alien races as well. I really like Elisabeth Weir. She's a diplomat and obviously out of her element working with the military, but she learns to adapt without losing what is important to her, which is being diplomatic and forging relationships as opposed to her military counterparts who's sometimes rather shoot first and ask later. Both Stargate series show her being successful with that approach after getting used to the military.
I really like how Stargate has a pretty wide variety of female characters. From scientists to fighters to dipomates to evil powerhungry and cruel.
