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.

It depends on who I'm in the company of. Often I feel like an afterthought. Many lesbians describe themselves as "attracted to women" but they don't intend to include trans women when they say that, and say things like "you know what I meant" when brought up on it.
Other times, I feel like a valued and celebrated member/demographic of a vibrant community. Places like here, and with my friends, and in the company of other trans and gnc folk, I feel belonging.
Ugh yeah, when I messaged a trans woman online dating shed usually heavily stress she was trans because she was so used to women bailing. It's so disappointing.
Its really hurtful :( at least I'm not dating men, so its at least somewhat safe for me to disclose I am trans
Yes that's true. Lower chance of being attacked or fetishised. Sad but true
