hi everyone! i recently became an admin of a local walking group and i now run the instagram account. the group was established before i joined using a “(city) girls who walk” name. i’m a cis woman but want to make sure any trans or nb people who would feel comfortable in a women-centered space know that they are welcome to join. what kind of language could i use in our insta bio to communicate that?
edit: i think i worded this poorly. i have no desire to exclude anyone based on gender or identity, even cis men. the name of the group is well-established, though, and would be difficult to change at this point. i guess i have to come to peace with the fact that its an inherently exclusionary name, and maybe i should just focus on inclusion for trans women for now.
anyone kind and respectful who shows up to a walk will be welcomed, though, and i will ban anyone who is being disrespectful to others at the walks.
edit 2: thank you for all of the input, it’s very helpful. for now, i’m just adding “queer-inclusive” to our bio and will do my best to be an advocate for all who decide to join us.
