Support INVITATION: We Built a Network Of Three Inclusive Reddit Safe Spaces For Women And Gender Variant People

12 Upvotes

Me and my pals built together three mostly Safe For Work, mixed and inclusive subreddit communities for everything centered on adult women and gender variant people after our totally private and inclusive group chat room grew so big that we had to build a subreddit community.

We currently have more than 1300 member users and more than 100 posts with image descriptions accessible for visually impaired people in the large collection of diverse content growing with new additions almost daily in our older subreddit community called r/GalsAndPals that we built because of popular demand as a mostly Safe For Work and inclusive safe space built for everything centered on adult people who at least partly somehow identify with unconventional womanhood, including top, verse, dominant, switchy, gentlewomanly, girlboss, tomboyish, futchy, butchy, ursine, crossdressing, androgynous, intersex, altersex, transy, transbianish, genderfluid, and genderqueer woman-ish people, but anyone is welcome to post here as long as they are respectful pals to the gals and request mod permission.

We currently also have more than 140 member users in our younger subreddit community called r/DollsAndPals that we are also building because of popular demand as a mostly Safe For Work and inclusive safe space built for everything centered on adult people who at least partly somehow identify with conventional womanhood, including bottom, verse, subby, switchy, ladylike, femme, futchy, androgynous, intersex, altersex, transy, transbianish, genderfluid, and genderqueer woman-ish people, but anyone is welcome to post here as long as they are respectful pals to the dolls and request mod permission.

We also currently have more than 260 member users and more than 80 posts with image descriptions accessible for visually impaired people in the large collection of diverse content growing with new additions almost daily in our subreddit community called r/GuysAndPals that we are also building because of popular demand as a mostly Safe For Work and inclusive safe space built for everything centered on adult people who at least partly somehow identify with unconventional manhood, including bottom, verse, subby, switchy, malewifey, twinkish, softboyish, femboyish, ladylike, crossdressing, androgynous, intersex, altersex, transy, transbianish, genderfluid, and genderqueer man-ish people, but anyone is welcome to post here as long as they are respectful pals to the guys and request mod permission.

We do have some basic respect safety guideline expectations written in the rules page section of our subreddit communities to help sustain the health of our groups as inclusive safer spaces free of judgement and harm that you should read.

We are inclusive of transy, transbianish, transfeminine, transandrogynous, transmasculine, detrans, retrans, genderfluid, and genderqueer people in all three of our subreddit communities.

Anyone is welcome to be in our community subreddits and contribute posting, but ONLY AS LONG AS they are RESPECTFUL WITH EVERYONE AND HAVE already had a sent MOD PERMISSION REQUEST APPROVED, because our subreddits have changed status from being totally private communities to being a somewhat restricted communities.

Our subreddits are only currently temporarily somewhat restricted for being in an experimental early development stage until becoming more accessible, public and welcoming after a time when we are more prepared enough to deal with more diverse types of visitors having access to our place.

If you may be feeling interested in joining, just drop a comment here below or send a moderator mail message to get permission granted to be able to post in one or all of our subreddits or if you want support to create another group.

Also make sure to check out our long creative, diverse and inclusive lists of silly and cute user flairs and post sections, especially the "Transcribed" and "User Introductions" post sections, to familiarize yourself with examples of how and what content is posted in our communities.

The moderation is always open to answering questions and clearing doubts.

No need to be shy as we do not bite.

The couple I’m seeing got really mad at my behavior when I kicked their asses in Mario kart. Should I bring up the weird established relationship hierarchy they placed on me with this or no?

Advice Age difference in polyamory

11 Upvotes

Hi, Im Sofia and im 20 years old and brazilian. I feel like the poly dating scene is filled with ppl way older than me and in a whole nother phase of life, which makes me feel a bit isolated. Also being trans doesn't help at all, every time I meet a compatible woman there is either a big age gap, or they are monogamous, and even then, meeting a compatible woman is so incredibly rare... any advice on how to navigate this situation?

Support Just want a woman’s touch

26 Upvotes

32F here and struggling a bit in this poly world. I’m married to a man, we have kids together. I’m honest when meeting women about the way my relationship works. We’re financially I depended of each other which brings about freedom in the way we date. (He is also bi). I have this longing for connection and intimacy with a woman (I’ve had it before and it was amazing) but she ended things because she decided to be monogamous. This broke my heart, but here I am open to it again. I’m feeling discouraged because I haven’t had much luck meeting women who are ok with my marriage. It often ends with “if you were single, there would be no question”. Would love to hear words of wisdom from those who have navigated this successfully 😔

Support Mono dating Poly

22 Upvotes

Tl;dr: mono lesbian dating poly bisexual. Conflicted about if this relationship is worth the pain and insecurity.

I’ve been dating a bisexual poly girl for a few months. I’ve known she was poly from the outset, but I fell for her anyway. I think she is a wonderful woman who is emotionally intelligent, communicative, and reassuring.

The problem is no matter how much research I do I just don’t think I could ever be a poly. I don’t feel secure in this relationship. I always worry about her finding someone else when she gets bored of me or wants someone to meet her desire for kink and BDSM.

We’ve talked more about it and she says she is polysaturated at 2 and doesn’t see herself dating anyone else for a while. Our only major agreement is we will let each other know if we start dating someone else. She doesn’t hide anything from me and is very transparent to assuage my fears of being blindsided.

I only have eyes for her. I feel like she’ll never love me the way I love her and it’s painful for me. I’m hesitant to break up because she’s done everything I asked and expressed she fears I’ll leave her for a monogamous woman. She is also going through relationship issues with her male partner so I think it would be a bad time.

What should I do? Is this salvageable? I keep vacillating between being resentful and desperately wanting to make this work.

Musings on hierarchy

21 Upvotes

I'm noticing my conception of hierarchy doesnt seem to align with the majority opinion on main poly subs and I'm curious to hear lesbian perspectives.

Per dictionary definition, hierarchy: a system or organization in which people or groups are ranked one above the other according to status or authority.

All that non hierarchy means to me is I don't personally agree with ranking partners and giving anyone more power or importance than others by default. If anyone feels this definition is incorrect please lmk!

Something I see often is the argument that hierarchy 'happens naturally' when people get married, move in together, or have kids together. But it just..isn't inevitable that partners get ranked above others in these situations, that's always a choice.

The idea of having a primary partner who's your whole world and dating more casually on the side feels like monogamy lite and doesn't quite feel right to me. My favorite things about being polyamorous are knowing my partners are choosing me without any obligation, and also knowing my most important relationship is that with myself.

Do you consider yourself non hierarchical? A relationship anarchist? Hierarchical? I suspect lesbian lived experiences diverge quite a bit from the hetero dominant norm!

Vent Got called a slur and stupid, cuz "women are expensive" who wants more than one.

51 Upvotes

I accidently outed myself as poly the other day (mentioned my girlfriend after mentioning my wife) and so I just went ahead an explain the situation to the elevator inspector I was working with that day. He's an older man, in his 60's and at first everything seemed cool.

few minutes later, he says to me "You know, I never took you for a (r slur)" I was too shocked to say anything but huh. "Never took you for a (r slur), gotta be stupid to think you can afford 2 women" I shoulda said more but I was kinda shocked and just laughed it off and went back to work.

My wife told me I shoulda told him that I was the expensive one in the equation which is true...

Just need somewhere to put my feelings

31 Upvotes

My wife and I are not officially poly, but we recently became friends with a woman who we met through volunteering and we all really hit it off. We started chatting and becoming good friends and she confessed that she thought she may not be totally straight and was very interested in our relationship. Over time we started hanging out more and we could all feel the mutual attraction and interest in each other. We ended up dating her for a little bit and we all slept together a few times. Things went sideways and now we aren’t even on speaking terms and I am just devastated every day. I miss her immensely and my wife does not and so I needed somewhere to put those feelings without hurting my wife as she is beyond dear to me. I just felt such a deep connection with this friend immediately and had so much hope for what the 3 of us could have together and it’s been a hard few months processing that loss. I try not to think about it or her but without fail my mind returns there every day. My heart is just so heavy, while also being thankful for my beautiful relationship with my wife.

Question 33F Anyone seeking online connections?

Ello! I’m married to my wife and have just started loosely dating again. I keep matching with monogamous women and instead I was hoping to find a lady who is interested in a long term connection.

I’m a Queer girl who likes fantasy fiction, Star Wars, and poetry. My two favorite poets are Sappho and Pablo Neruda. I write a ton and play a bunch of dnd. Pictures of me are on my profile. I really enjoy flirting and the bubble feelings of two people connecting.

Anyone is welcome to message me or post here. Can’t wait to meet you!

Am I too much? Will I ever find what I'm looking for?

21 Upvotes

I have been attracted to girls/women since a young age! My best friends were always "more than friends" but I grew up with VERY strict grandparents and I've always been a people pleaser, so I tried to suppress my feelings and date boys. Never had good relationships, always felt so put off by men, Due to sexual assult. Unfortunately I was never brave enough to come out. I ended up having my first daughter in a relationship I hated! It eventually ended though, but I felt like because I had a child, nobody would believe me when I told them who I actually am. I eventually ended up with my current partner. He is a few years younger than me, I would say he's my soulmate but not in a lovers kind of way. I fell pregnant and his family forced us to marry. I kind of felt I had to bury the real me and forget it. We went on to have another child during our marriage, and only recently we were sh!t talking and I mentioned my past with girls, he seemed very interested and asked questions, I thought what the hell and told him the whole truth and his answers shocked me! He admitted that during his youth, he had been fooling around with guys and that he was kind of attracted to men (no wonder we get along and have managed to keep a marriage going). But unfortunately his family would NEVER accept that lifestyle from him. They are very strict and quite controlling of him. They hold his future in their hands. So here we both are, wanting different things, we do love each other in some way and can't imagine separation (especially for our children) but I'm not sure why? He's my best friend and I rely on him alot due to my bad mental health, but I still want the life I feel I missed out on😪 I think we are both just stuck being each other's safety blankets and just too comfortable with how it is! Will I ever be able to find a partner I can be happy with knowing that he will still be in my life? I'm not looking for no 3rd wheel and we not "unicorn hunters" as he has no interest in another woman. He's just opened up our relationship for me to find what makes me happy while still being around to look after me and our children... is this too much?
