Trans men are men and I believe the trans-affirming position is to exclude them, but if you've read Leslie Feinberg's Stone Butch Blues you already know it can be quite complicated - so we let trans men decide whether they belong in a womens-only community.
Some trans men have a butch lesbian identity before they transition that they continue to have a connection to, and it can be hard for some trans men to lose their connection to a community of women. Some trans men are not passing and continue to move through the world perceived as a woman despite having a gender identity that makes them a man.
Either way, I have understood the trans rule as allowing any trans individuals decide whether they feel they belong here or not. My understanding might be wrong, or we might need to revise the rule or my understanding of it.
We're open even to non-women who feel they belong here or wish to participate, e.g. agender, non-binary, bigender, and even trans men (if they choose).
I'm not sure - I would probably want to look at what is well evidenced, i.e. what actually demonstrates reduced gender bias. Bias might be really hard to actually measure, so we might want to be specific about what we care about, e.g.
- salary gap between men and women
- % of workforce that is men vs women
and so on ...
Policies that I've seen and come to mind (but may be flawed still, I haven't thought much about this):
- provide childcare at the workplace, have somewhere your kids can be safe and taken care of while you're at work
- seek out new hires, interns, and other candidates from all-women's universities and colleges in addition to ivy leagues, major state schools, etc.
- have strong maternity and paternity leave
Making myself a fun coffee drink then putting on loud dance music and dancing in my kitchen is a low-materialistic treat I've taken.
Taking a bath can be, too.

nothing 😉
(I do sometimes wear a silk bonnet for my curly hair, and socks to keep my feet moisturized after putting on lotion - sexy, I know)
Are you applying?
I'm not following.

oh? What's a priority?
just wondering if you could expand on this for me a bit
this reminds me, I once tried ranch dressing flavored soda, and it was awful - I couldn't finish it, it tasted sour in a bad way.
hm, unbuttoned, maybe tied under the bust with a black tank top underneath and a flowy tiered brown boho skirt?
The white in that top would wash me out, but the blue is nice.
the durian I tried was frozen I think, I tend to be pretty open-minded so I'll have to try dehydrated durian sometime (just in case) 😁
aw, thank you 🥰
I think it's hard when my spouse is so competent and hard-working, they set a high bar 😅
