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.

Yep it goes like that some days. We're pretty ruthless with it because we get manosphere types coming in trolling cos we're women (ugh) and trans inclusive (oh no!).

I don't know if it's just my imagination but I feel like I've noticed a couple of people around Lemmy in general over the last couple of weeks that aren't here in good faith. That's the thing with these right wing types. They took over Facebook and Twitter and turned them into dumps but that's enough for them. They have to follow the rest of us to the spaces where we go to try and get away from them.

I've said this multiple times now but thank you (and Dandelion) for what you're doing here. It's a dirty job dealing with these assholes so that the rest of us don't have to. And it seems like this community is definitely growing now. About a month ago, you were posting 99% of the content here and looking at it now, it's busier than ever!

Thanks mate it has been a lot of work and dealing with a lot of assholes! I've been blessed with most people that post here there's some great people

Yeah of course it's not all bad. Most people are here in good faith. And hopefully once these early waves of manly men are dealt with and blocked etc, it'll get less and less and not so easy to notice all the removed comments (although you'll probably never be 100% free of it).

Yep... there is sadly an endless supply of men wishing to mansplain and complain about how women oppress them!
