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.

How often does someone assume you're a man when talking on a phone? It happened to me yesterday, and I took it as a sign that I need to do my voice training practice more intensely. But it did make me wonder, how often does that happen to cis women?

ALL THE TIME. I have a deeper voice for a woman and often get called sir

Never to me but I have a high pitched voice, effeminate way of speaking and use girly phrases eg "oooooh sounds lovely!". However I've got female friends who've been mistaken for male on the phone loads.
