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.

Chiming in as a woman who gets no attention.
Chiming in as a woman who gets no attention.
Are you 200+kg? Does your face look like it’s been cut apart and incorrectly reassembled? Are you grotesquely crippled to the point of needing a full-time care aid?
If not: X Doubt.
For almost all men, the only time in their life that they ever receive flowers is on the day of their funeral.
When men are complimented by a woman, they hold that treasured memory for years, because it might be the only time in their life where a woman other than a direct relative compliments them.
When men date, the average man typically suffers a direct rejection rate of 98% to 100%. Vanishingly few men see a rejection rate of less than 90%. Comparatively speaking, the average woman sees a rejection rate of about 30-35%.
Compared to the average man, you are likely marinating in attention.
Against other women, probably not. And for that alone you have my sympathies. But vs the average man? Absolutely.
From my own experiences with being a man, and being seen as a man, I definitely got way more respect than I do now. I also got a good deal of attention, but it wasn’t the kind of attention you were talking about.
Being a woman I get a lot of sexual attention, literally just yesterday even. And definitely get a lot less respect from people than I used too, even when I am able to pass I get less. Got even less when I was visibly trans and couldn’t even remotely pass.
I mostly agree but it's all bell curve all the time. There are always extremes that'll be the exception to the rule.
I would say in general men get more respect and attention but less sexual attention. And women get more sexual attention but less respect and professional attention.
Hey Mouselemming welcome to WomensStuff! We're a trans inclusive women only community and ask cis men don't post. Please read the rules pinned at the top
Hi I'm a cis woman and I've been here before although I don't remember if I've posted.
I'm going to guess (and I freely admit these are just guesses) two things:
- You're a man.
- You haven't read the rules of the community you're posting to.
How close am I?
Off by my 67 years as a woman. Perhaps my lived experience doesn't align with yours. Edit: correction: before becoming a woman I was a girl. No such thing as an "underage woman."
OK, sorry for the bad guess. My bad entirely.
No worries.
Broadly I agree. There's narrow slivers of outliers on both sides, but yes, the overall pattern leans this way.
Disagree. I respect myself now.
