You’re right and you’re valid for saying it

Being in FLINTA spaces is so fucking awesome and cozy and safe. Its easier, its less energy, it doesn’t fill me with anxiety.

FLINTA? I’m picturing something from the Flintstones but I’ve no idea what the abbreviation means

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLINTA*

“Frauen, Lesben, Intergeschlechtliche, nichtbinäre, trans und agender Personen”, meaning women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans and agender people.

It has made its way to being used in the UK queer/kink circles at least, and I like the term!

just to be clear, [email protected] is a women-only community that allows trans, non-binary, agender, etc. folks decide whether they feel they belong in a women’s group

(as opposed to a “women + others” group)

I know! I love this space for that :) my mentioning of FLINTA spaces wasn’t in contrast to this space, rather sharing that I love FLINTA spaces in relation to the OP’s desire for more spaces without cis men

oh, that makes sense - sorry for misreading you, I was confused and thought [email protected] was being viewed as a FLINTA space.

Thanks for teaching me about FLINTA as a term and concept, too - that’s helpful to know!
