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 [email protected] 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.

I in general tend to feel pretty included, but it's shocking how many cis LGBT people think they can reclaim trans slurs and try to explain to me why it's actually okay that the called me a trap or a tranny because they're reclaiming it. Like, even if you heard a trans person use a slur to describe themself, please, do not call me that. (I wanna be clear, not talking about this community, happens mostly IRL.)
In general it's pretty common to feel like people are trying to be inclusive, which is nice, but my god cis people just can't help talking over trans people about trans issues.
Hearing about people like that really upsets me.
Reclaiming a slur is only something that the target of the slur can do. Self describing with the slur as an individual or as group is reclaiming the slur. Calling someone a slur when you're not a target of that slur, is just referring to someone with a slur. That's not reclaiming, that's just claiming.
But trying to explain it away instead of just apologizing is the worst part.
