Thank you for making this, what you’re doing is so important. I was wondering if your site is inclusive toward trans women? I didn’t see any mention of it on your About page so I thought I would ask. Looks great by the way and I’m excited to see it grow!

Not only Women Make is open to all women, but it's open to everyone. So trans women are more than welcome. Since you're asking this question, maybe I should make it more clear.

Why does it need to be mentioned? If they consider themselves women, isn't 'Women Make' enough?

That'd be nice, but there are some women-only spaces that are specifically hostile to trans women.

Can you give an example?

Tori Amos fan forums.

TERFs

The Michigan Womyn's Music Festival is a well-known example.
