I support it, but you'd have to have some very dedicated moderators. Saidit has different rules than reddit which you'll want to review. You will also have a challenge of getting enough users. You are welcome to make posts about PCOS and other medical issues here as well.

All important considerations - after I made this post, I had a bit of a browse on Facebook to see if there were any female-only PCOS groups. To my dismay, lots of them are for "ovary owners," "ovary havers" and the like. I just think it would be important to have a space - which at this point is TBD - to be able to talk about the symptoms and coping strategies that work. I do think a lot of the things spoken about in these spaces might get muddled up in radical feminist discourse - it's easy to tell someone to "rock the facial hair" when it's not you not getting jobs or dates or whatever because of it (a personal experience of mine, which is not representative of everyone of course). I wish I had website building skills, that would really come in handy!

This recent development is beyond revolting-- even more so in that men's equivalent groups are not being browbeaten into welcoming transmen with open arms.
