About A place for serious and silly content intended for women’s perspectives.
Yes, this includes ALL women. If you identify as a woman, you are welcome here.
(We are not the same mods as the Reddit r/twoxchromosomes
[https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/] sub) Rules We are currently
following a modified version of r/TwoXChromosomes rules here
[https://slrpnk.net/comment/195833]. Why THIS Community Name? We chose this
community name since it was already well established on Reddit. During the great
Reddit migration of 2023 people were looking for the same or similar communities
to what they had on Reddit, searching for names they already knew was the
easiest way to get members. We have chosen to keep this name since it’s well
recognized. As stated above, ANY woman is welcome here. Want to be a mod? Fill

Let’s see if I can get all this link formatting down haha.
We are not the Reddit TwoXChromosomes but we did see that they did not exist here and all the search results happened to be users looking for it so here it is! If anyone from the Reddit 2x wants to mod, inbox me on reddit or lemmy, same username.
I do not myself like /r/TwoXChromosomes, and I don’t think that it was a great idea to make it a default sub on Reddit back when that happened – IIRC the rationale was to try to improve Reddit’s appeal to women. But it’s…kind of a bitter, angry place, and I don’t think that that makes for a very good default experience for new users.
However, I certainly think that people who want that environment should have access to it. I mean, people need to vent about stuff. So, hey, good to have it as an option for people.
The way many women are treated, both currently and in the past, I don’t fucking blame them. I agree that it’s necessary for women to have a place for women to vent and seek support, and XX on Reddit provided one outlet for that.
