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.

This space is shifting into TERF territory real quick
Looking at this meme for what it is, it's literally saying "#yesallmen *except Pedro, so I'm not a bigot <3"
It's a really cowardly way to try on ideologies without acknowledging the blatantly harmful aspects
And this space being for women is fine, but the mandatory requirement to say all men are excluded in every post title makes this space reek of the ways TERFs isolate and control women.
It's not mandatory, LadyButteryfly is just doing that on some of her posts because so many men comment on posts in this community, which then takes up a lot of time and effort to remove.
The motivation to put the rule in the title of the post is because so many men don't read the rules or notice what community they're in before posting, this helps them be aware and reduces the workload of the moderators.
I hear you on how it can look or seem TERFy, but I think this might just be a misunderstanding, we are explicitly trans inclusive.
It is required in the rules of the community.
Sounds like we might be talking past one another 😅
The rules of the community are that this is a women-only community, but you said:
I was only clarifying that there is no rule that every post must include language in the post title saying all men are excluded ...
Thanks for your feedback! Dont worry we don't do that in every post, but we've sadly had manosphere commenters brigade posts like this in the past. I've found it's best to prevent issues with the title. ❤️
