This isn’t a transfem community, nor a transfem enby-excluding community, afaik. There is a transfem community on Lemmy, but it’s explicitly inclusive of enbies, so still not just a women’s space.
And it’s connected to the whole rest of the Fediverse, which is certainly not a women-only space. Things you post here will be seen outside the context of this magazine.
Enby is an umbrella term that can includes people who are transmasc (ie: demiboys, libramascs), transfems (ie: demigirls, librafems), multigender, agender, genderfluid, and xenogenders. Transfem just describes the direction of transition and is not just limited to binary trans women.
Fem and woman aren’t synonyms. How else would you describe someone who was AMAB but is librafem, isn’t a woman and even further from being a man, but still has a connection to femininity?
Lots of transfem people are women, but its sorta like a rectangle and square (all squares are rectangles, but only some rectangles are squares). Practically all trans woman are transfem, but not all transfem people are women.
A feminine gender identity is equivalent to womanhood. People who identify as feminine are also women to some extent even if they don’t call themselves women, this is especially true for trans women who are in-denial of their transness (i.e. people who claim to be femboys yet want boobs and pretty faces).
Male and female are mutually exclusive, people can’t be both male and female, that is asinine. They must be one or the other or neither, can’t be both, womanhood and manhood is mutually exclusive.
Who else would such a meme be targeted to especially when this is a women’s space.

Transfem and enby are mutually exclusive terms, a person can be one or the other but not both.

That doesn’t make sense, a person cannot want to be “NonBinary” and also want to be a trans woman at the same time.
Why not?
because nonbinary is being neither male nor female and transfem is being a woman, a binary gender. They are not the same thing.

Your definitions are overly simplistic. There are bigender people who are male and female and are still non-binary.
Male and female are mutually exclusive, people can’t be both male and female, that is asinine. They must be one or the other or neither, can’t be both, womanhood and manhood is mutually exclusive.
how is this a women’s space?
“how is this a women’s space?”
> Majority of memes in the community are transfem memes
the way you’re trying to exclude trans men from a general trans space “because most of the memes are trans fem” is really othering and hurtful
i don’t feel like that reason makes it okay to be exclusive to trans men. if anything, that strikes me as a reason to be more considerate, not less
sort of like how a typical women’s space should be considerate in including trans women, since they’re a minority of a marginalized group, no?
incidentally, you should see that the rules of the subreddit which forbid bigotry and encourage tagging your post with the audience it’s aimed at
