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.

Honestly I think a majority of the men commenting don't even notice the community they're posting in, let alone read the rules. It happens a lot when a post reaches /c/all and a flood of outside users suddenly are interacting with the post.
Luckily this means a lot of them are not too impolite about it (even if some of them get defensive).
Well, your response is identical to, for instance, the response given in terf communities I used to peruse. (Relax -- I'm a better person now.) The reason I am asking is that I think exclusivity is a bad thing, rather than the absence of a good thing -- i.e., the world would be better with fewer exclusive places.
I'd counter with this -- why don't you want men in the community? And does the answer you give to that apply to every man, or just a subset? I understand, of course, that the easiest way to exclude that subset is to exclude all men, and I wouldn't want to ask the mod team to do more work for free.
If she asks in a women-only room, we can all discern with context that it's rhetorical to help make her point.
No, they didn't ask you at all.....
