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.

I feel like men can do all of those things, so I don't see why we are excluding them. Just because it's a women-centric community doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed. I think we should exclude people who are bigoted instead, or even people who just don't "get" women's issues.

Aside: I'm personally irritated that make-up is what's considered a woman-centric topic. That's kind of reductive -- not everyone is femme.

You absolutely didn't get anyone banned, nothing you did was responsible for them being a man and violating the rules by commenting.

While I hear your concern about transparency (and I am sympathetic - I can imagine feeling the same way in your situation), I should point out that transparency is not owed in this context, nor is this the appropriate place or context for litigating my moderation decisions.

The decision I made was based on what I considered sufficient evidence that superkret is not a woman, and my judgement was seconded by @CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al.

While I'm always open to being wrong (I am human after all, I make mistakes!), and I hope you would let me know if you found compelling evidence that I made a mistake, I stand by my decision based on the evidence I have (even if it is not appropriate to disclose and litigate that evidence and my reasoning with you here in public).
