    This isn’t a positive message. This is just stating the obvious, which literally just makes you question the thing. You don’t write “Murder is bad.” everywhere, do you?

      Trans women are women isn’t a positive message?

      It’s acceptance. It’s a bold statement in face of the world that doesn’t see trans women as women. It’s a welcoming message. It’s a reminder that this place is a safe place for trans women as well as cis women.

        To me, not really. It’s just stating the obvious. I’m fairly sure almost everyone who’s here already knows it and have it as a baseline. So again, who is it for? If one has an opinion on a subject, that means they’ve already researched the facts and derived their belief from logic. So stating this feels more like a “alright, already knew it though”. Constantly stating the obvious makes people doubt themselves, and makes us think “am I missing something?”. This post literally just brings argument even though there’s nothing to argue about…

                “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.”

                  And you have clearly demonstrated that not everyone reads the rules in a community before posting.

                  So this message, this post, is still relevant for this community.

                  “Unknownman” - if you don’t want to be perceived as a man, don’t post that you are a man.
