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.

Short and snappy: Because men are still the default and that doesn't make any sense when about half of humanity are women.
Some examples: Medicine, crash tests, design (size of things), movies (see the Bechdel Test for a bar that was put on the ground that is still not cleared surprisingly often) and other media. This list goes on and on.
This is excellent! You're right, women are an afterthought at best, we're often not included in academic research, policies don't think of us, and we're underrepresented in key places. Humanity should be the default!
