For those out of the loop, WomensStuff has a women-only rule, where men are respectfully asked to not reply to posts.

    They allow trans women. They just want to a space to talk about women things away from men because men tend to say stupid shit when women want ro complain about us.

      Well, it happens quite regularly that men make absolute shit comments in the community, so its not that much of a stupid rule. Sometimes people dont have to care about everyone else’s opinions on certain topics.

        Oh, I don’t think it’s a stupid rule at all. I completely agree with the fact that they have a rule. If people want a space like that, that’s totally fine by me. Just pointing out to this person that it’s not based on a biological imperative.

      That’s good, but being trans is also an attribute you are born with. I get why they do it, and if it works out well for them, I’m not gonna say they’re wrong for doing it. I would just never do it myself.

        I mean, that’s fair. I guess you could consider trans to be an attribute you’re born with, but I generally consider trans to be a part of our gender expression, which science has described as being incredibly fluid which is why we not only have trans people, but we also have genderfluid people, and non-binary people, and other varieties along that spectrum as well.
