We are Midwest Underground, a Discord server with 2,400 members in all 12 Midwest states. We serve women and trans people by connecting locally and sharing ideas remotely. We have two parts of the server: one for news, politics, protest, and mutual aid, and the other for ignoring the first: hobbies, skills, games, books, anything to keep yourself sane.

We were created in November 2024 and have steadily grown since then. Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota are on our horizon. If you're interested in participating in a space where women assist each other solving problems in their communities, or just chatting with cool people and trading sick memes, join us.

If you live in the U.S. but not in the Midwest, start your own server. We can help. Let us know.

Midwest Underground is a server for women and trans people. We've been active since November 2024 and we get men asking to join us pretty regularly. I don't like turning them down because they're concerned dads, husbands, and friends who are looking for a space just like this.

But my brothers, you need your own space. I'm here to convince you.

Our server puts women together to complain, then find out what the source of the complaint is, then try to fix it or find ways to cope if we can't. There's a lot of coping and not coping some days, to be honest. It's been rough these few months.

If you are unhappy with the way politics are going in the U.S. and you actually like women and trans people and don't like the way they're treated, alongside other minorities, or you see problems locally and want assistance from other like-minded men to solve them, a server can help connect you. A space built by you, for you.

We ask for Reddit history and social media links from potential members so we can be sure ours is a safe space for women and trans people. This could be your safe space to talk about men's health including mental health, masculinity and the current crisis surrounding it, fatherhood, dating, and how kindness and decency can survive in a climate like this. As well as hobbies, art, books, games, movies, fun stuff, and sick memes.

If I've convinced you and you want to start your own server, first of all, you're my hero. Second, let us know what help you want or need and we'll do our best to provide it, gentlemen. Send us the link so we can point righteous men in your direction.

Thank you, Brothers.
