    oh, you’re talking about the body text of this post? This is a meme post, not a rules or policy page.

    We have seen participation from trans men without issue already, I don’t think this body text in a random post is going to make a huge difference - the rules and the sidebar already explicitly includes women-identifying bigender people.

      Avoiding microaggressions is an important part of curating a space that feels inclusive. Explicit rules don’t do much to make minorities feel included if those minorities feel that the implicit rules are different from what’s being said. I saw a Reductress article a while ago that really speaks to this issue and made me think. Now, the accusation in the article isn’t what I think is going on here, and I don’t mean to be as confrontational as the article is, but I think it’s a really good read for anyone, and especially anyone curating a women’s space who wants to be trans inclusive.
