Feminism & Female Liberation
This is a space for intersectional feminism. That means we fight for all women and/or females and marginalized genders. Whether you are cis, trans, intersex, non-binary, agender, or gender non-conforming, your autonomy matters here.
Note: Some resources below focus on reproductive biology (uteruses, menstruation). These are intended for anyone with those anatomy needs, regardless of gender identity.
