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 [email protected] 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.

Well trans women are women and every woman enriches the tapestry of womanhood.

So yeah

i aint enriching shit. sounds like work. pay me.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Do you accept love and respect as payment?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

cant buy food or a place to sleep with love and respect. i give flavor to womanhood, no doubt. its just sour, bitter, gritty, and smells like durian. if that's enrichment, okay. however, i think most people are disgusted by a piece of shit in their platitude sandwich. i aint enriching womanhood, likely will never, and dont care to take on that burdensome expectation.

I'm hearing a lot of self criticism. We don't see you that way here ❤️

I would say some do, some don't, same as with other women. I get were the sentiment is coming from, but I'm always a bit cautious about putting pressure on people with things like that. There is no need to enrich anything to be welcome, just do your thing.

I think this is really interesting. Trans women have taught a lot of people that gender isn't binary, which can only be a good thing. They often have new perspectives are really helpful to our understanding of womanhood. So it's an interesting statement

Well, I'm a trans woman and I'm binary, so that's not all of us.

I'd give the nonbinary people the credit for that.

I think a lot of people realize that gender isn't fixed because of trans women. I think a lot of men realize it the first time they meet a trans woman they want to fuck.

Then they tend to go one of two ways.

That's a good point thanks

Being a woman, isn't the same as the gender binary. The gender binary is a system to force people to behave and perhaps think in certain ways.

I think that womanhood is better and enriched for having trans women. I don't think that trans women being part of womanhood should be at all contingent on whether or not they enrich it, they simply are. Does that make sense.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Perfect sense. And I agree it's sad we have to emphasise it, it's like saying "black women enrich womanhood". No women should ever be excluded in the first place

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

I like it when women…

stares off dreamily into the distance

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yes. Trans women are women <3

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

At least one of us is trans femme and yes, we do by showing people that the binary is silly as people do not and should not live up to performances and roles that do not genuinely suit them, or that stiffle them in some way.

Us women and women adjacent folks deserve more than to slot neatly into other's ideas of us and be controlled so much. From our bodies to our brains we should cast off the shackles that bind us to such ideas and choose freely for ourselves, even if that ends up looking like the prescribed roles we have had to endure for so long we won't do it for others and it won't look entirely like is expected.

I'm so indifferent and unconcerned with gender, I genuinely don't care and think it's weird to. This statement makes as many people pissed off as it does happy and I think that's just so weird of people. Lexi will have to find someone else to light their fires for them.
