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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
- 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.

Growing up people kept taking advantage of my mother. They knew that since she was a single mother and not particularly rich, so they took every chance to skrew her over. What truly derailed her career though (and the reason why she kept loosing jobs) is because she is a proud Jewish women and a proud unionist.
You make a really good point about how being vulnerable and different can put people at risk. It puts a target on your head through no fault of yours
Its more than that, she dared to make demands and she refused to compromise on her core principals. When she demanded off for shabbat (the Jewish day of rest) she was not asking, when she organized her fellow workers they made demands too, and she refused to back down when the bosses tried tried to pit other workers against her. Bosses fear the educated women who knows the value of her labor.
