♕ Are all races of women allowed here? Yes. This is an open community for women of all ethnic backgrounds and races to interact. That also includes white women and non-identified femcel women. So long as the rules and objective are followed, any "type" of woman can post and interact. With that said, the community will always and only be for and about black women. Disclaimer: This not a Q/A subreddit. Please see /r/AskBlackGirls.

♕. Are men allowed here? Yes and no. Men are forbidden to post and interact directly on this subreddit under rule no. 7 but not disallowed to participate under Reddit policy based on their sex. In other words, they are not banned from participation on the subreddit and are at their own free will to break our sub rules e.g., Rule no. 7, but will be dealt with in consequence by a ban. Their posts will be locked, comments removed following then direct to our appropriate adjacent subs and areas i.e., our /r/AskBlackGirls sub or our co-ed participation Discord to talk and chat more directly with the women.

If you are wondering where our sub men are, they are there. To optimize on fairness, there are two men that have freedom to participate on the sub under the grounds they were present here before rules were changed.

♕. Is this a place for Femcels? If so, are they safe? Yes. This is an open/public safe space for black (&WOC) femcels to interact with all varieties and types of other women without harassment. We recognize all black women as black women first, regardless of self-identification, secondary background or ideology.

♕. Is this subreddit or it's owner TERF/PinkPill/GenderCritical? No. This sub has no connection to any feminist subreddits. This is not a feminism or Pill related sub. Women that post here may or may not hold certain views, but there is no universal view, value system, philosophy, or ideology enforced or held on this subreddit. This sub has no direct affiliation with any other subs outside of our recommendations. Should we be mentioned or recommended on another subreddit, it was by no means under our consent.

Our black women come from all environments and walks of life, diverse in their blackness, they are not reflective on any ideology, political view, philosophy or universal belief held on the subreddit as a whole.

♕. Are trans allowed here? Transmen fall under violation of Rule no. 7.

Transwomen are allowed to interact, participate, post and comment and do so at their own discretion. The sub is inherently trans neutral as we do not discuss trans individuals or topics rule 6. But be mindful that discussion and posts on Trans issues are a violation of Rule no. 6. on derailing/relevancy. This is not a sub to discuss trans issues, trans politics or trans topics. This is not a trans subreddit and this sub is not aimed at trans content. We do not discriminate against individual trans women based on identity, but instead filter through relevant content.

This is a safe space first and foremost, for biological (natural) born black females with the inclusion of others, and by the nature of the subreddit we do not disallow the speech or opinions of black women at the expense of non-black women or men, whether popular or unpopular. Black women will always come first here. For the transwomen that do participate, and consider themselves in fact, real women, they will not be distinguished either in flair, unique disclaimers, or be granted any special privileges, prioritized or granted immunity against the rules from or above any of the biological women here. So, post at your own discretion that all women are treated equally as this subreddit holds no ideological, political, or philosophical position.

♕. Are the mods all women? Yes! The creator (Me and my alternative account Apofs) are female and black. Our one other mod is a verified black female. There will be no other mods to ensure the security of the sub and that it remains strictly black and about black females.

♕. Is the sub safe and secure from fake accounts/male trolls/bigrades? The sub is safe and secured by a black female. Anything outside of the moderation control is up to the community to report. If troll accounts and men sneak through, report and be patient until a mod handles it. Make sure the reports are within the rules - and not a matter of opinion.

♕. Will the sub ever go private? No. The sub will never go private. We are not a passive sub, and will not be threatened into silence. Under the circumstance we are targeted for harassment, our sub will temporarily go private, but this will never be permanent.

♕. Rule no.1 explained: Because this is a community first and foremost geared to black women with non-censorship and freedom of speech, rule number 1. does NOT apply to black women and/or regulars venting or expressing psychological catharsis, only with those that have an INTENT to OFFEND and/or cause substantial harm. We make a distinction between venting, psychological catharsis, frustration, expression of personal prejudices/preferences and anger from systematic and institutionalized racism.

To meet in the middle, "violent racist vent posts" are locked as soon as possible, and removed, such posts will be tagged and subjected to the Reddit vote system and the community to determine the popularity of the post and where it lies on the sub. Posts with high negative votes naturally fall to the bottom, then eventually removed.

♕. Do you welcome suggestions? Yes and please! If you have suggestions on how to make the community better, safer, or just something you wish to complain about or dislike, I encourage it! Everything is subject to change and adjustment. Remember to tag the post as "Suggestion" using our community post flairs!
