This is a radical feminist subreddit that hopes to bring both natal women and transexual women together again. Currently we allow trans men to post here too, but we do encourage you to check out r/GenderDifficultAllies too.

General Rules (subject to change as the sub grows):

This space is meant for women so we ask that men do not post here with the exception of trans men that still deal with issues that affect them because of their natal sex.

We do not require women to view trans women as women to post here, but we do ask that you are generally respectful towards other members of this sub including the transexual users.

We do not allow slurs. This also includes TiM and TiF as well as referring to others as "trans-identified." We feel this belittles the struggle strongly dysphoric users face. Saying someone "identifies as a man/woman" with that phrasing is allowed.

Body shaming is not allowed on this sub! This includes mocking post-surgical genitalia. Acknowledging that there are still differences between, for example, a natal woman's vulva and a neo-vulva is allowed as long as it is not disrespectful and relevant to a discussion (such as dating prefrences).

Blanchardianism isn't allowed. This includes the phrases "homosexual transsexual" and "HSTS". AGP men can still be criticized, and policies that allow them to use trans exemptions (e.g. self-ID) can also be criticized. This means, for example you can't say "female-attracted trans women are AGP by definition."

No misgendering other users; however, third party pronouns are fine.

Site wide rules also apply. Any posts encouraging violence against others will be deleted and result in the user being banned.

Trans user-specific policies:

This space does allow some transexual women, but we ask that users only participate if they have started HRT before the age of 25 (so 24 or under).

Are post-SRS

Have socially presented as women, taken HRT, and been legally female for at least two continuous years previous to the current date.

Have an official diagnosis of gender dysphoria (DSM-V), transsexuality (ICD-10), or gender incongruence (ICD-11).

Not have a history of fetishistic behaviour or autogynephilia or have received an official diagnosis of transvestic fetishism (DSM-V / ICD-10) or a paraphilic disorder (ICD-11) in one's lifetime due to not being trans. (This means AGP men are not considered trans women in this sub.)

Trans users are asked not to take part in threads specifically about female anatomy unless given moderator permission to do so for whatever reason.
