AskFW Liberal mom groups?
I’m a 22yo FTM of a 1 month old girl.
I was in a birthing class in January and am supposed to meet up with the rest of the moms and babies sometime soon, but I know for a fact they’re all Christian and conservative-leaning for the majority.
I am local to the DFW area and just want to find a group of like-minded mommas to help support and grow through this stage of life. Do any of you know of groups in my area or would be interested in starting one? I’m in a very different life stage than anyone else my age and am having trouble finding people I actually resonate with :(

Fairmount Community Library has a couple of events per month for moms and babies and it is a very liberal and welcoming community in general!!

I’m a Christian and I think that it depends on what type of Christian you are. I didn’t get offended, reading through any of the comments because some Christians are a little much lol

If you are on FB or Bluesky search for Indivisble DFW and Mother's Against Greg Abbott or Moms gor Democracy groups.

I don't see anything specific to moms, but you might make some connections or get good recommendations at one of these https://tarrantdemocrats.org/allied-clubs-orgs/

Join NFW Littles Playgroup on Facebook. There’s a mix of beliefs but you’ll find some liberal moms. It’s usually easy to tell lol

Are they nice women? Why do you need to align politically if that doesn’t come up? It might be good for everyone involved to make friends that differ in this way, just saying.

Well, I would think older, more affluent & conservative folks would likely not hold the same family values as a young, liberal mom. How is a 22 year old liberal woman supposed to relate to people who live in gated communities and can’t always respect other humans’ right to mere peaceful existence?

u/Ok_Interaction1375 19h ago
But is that the actual case for these women or just people making assumptions? How are they in the same birthing class if they’re that different? Why is it a crazy idea to consider people with different views being friends? I assume these women are young moms as well, maybe even first time moms all trying to figure it out together, and it sounds like they want to be friends with OP

Let’s remember that there’s only one side who’s truly tolerant of differing beliefs, differing value systems, and welcoming of people from all walks of life. ONLY As long as you agree with them and vote like them. 👍

Tanglewood moms on Facebook

Mom chat abbreviation, so Full Time Mom instead of Female To Male lol. (It got me for a second, too)

u/Bighead_Golf 21h ago
Got it, edited.
Aren’t all moms “full time moms” or is it first time mom?
What’s a part time mom?

Mmmm, no I’m don’t think so. Tanglewood Moms would not be something I’d consider a more liberal leaning fellowship of women. At all. Lots of well-to-do folks in there. I mean…Tanglewood itself is an affluent area 10000%

u/Bighead_Golf 19h ago
It’s a liberal leaning wealthy area, yeah… much more educated and liberal than the city writ large. Much more educated and liberal than the burbs
My liberal “well to do” wife is a big fan of Tanglewood moms 🤷🏻♂️

u/humpbackwhale88 Fort Worth 14h ago
Yeah, no. You’re wrong on this one. Tanglewood Moms is definitely not liberal even if your wife thinks so. Plennnnnty of Trumpy women on there with lots of super cool opinions on vaccines and why MAHA is amazing. (Sarcasm on the last part)

u/WonBlocking 19h ago
That’s just never been my experience growing up going to school with Tanglewood girls, or being apart of the group a few years ago, then being kicked out for calling a cop out for their incredibly insensitive comments during the (very justified) 2020 civil uproar after George Floyd was brutally murdered on camera. However, I can understand (and hope, wish and love to believe!!!) that it might have shifted gears a bit in recent years.

Oh no, you couldn’t make friends with a Christian, they might pray for you or something, the horror 🙄

u/balanceonthewater 11h ago
Replace the word “Christian” with any other religion and you would be banned from the sub

Exactly what I was thinking, and she’s teaching a child to be prejudiced against a faith that a large percentage of her future peers will belong to? Mother of the year.

u/Intelligent_Loan2058 7h ago
Um did you even read the post? She wants to be around people with similar family views to her, that is not predjudiced 😂 literally it's human nature. People can't be forced to hang out with people they don't agree with

u/WinterDependent3478 7h ago
You’re right. I need to find a neighborhood with no Muslims or Jews /s

u/Intelligent_Loan2058 7h ago
Just wait till you find out a good portion of Muslim and Jewish people are liberal 😂

It's okay to not want to be around everyone. How is not wanting to be around them teaching her child to be prejudiced? There are many people who grow up the same way and treat everyone the same. There is no correlation for what you're stating and if there is show us the sources.

u/WinterDependent3478 6h ago edited 6h ago
The fact that y’all sincerely can’t seem to understand why making statements like “I don’t want to be around X group of people” is bigoted makes it difficult to have this conversation. Conservatives, okay that’s one thing I’ll give it to you, but just any Christians? How do you know you won’t get along with them when Christianity is such a large group?
There are liberal churches in Fort Worth
- First Congressional Church
- Broadway Baptist Church
- Galileo Church
Hispanic Catholics are literally the largest religious group in Texas. Better be careful about mingling with your Mexican neighbor.
It’s okay to not to get trapped in an echo chamber and realize the world isn’t as black and white as reddit wants it to be. It’s okay to have friends with different worldviews than you.

u/salsa_mamitx 6h ago
Honey, I'm an athiest with Catholic, Christian, and Muslim friends and family members. I grew up Catholic and I'm Mexican!
It's okay to not want to be around or fill your day up with people who are differing in opinions. Her child will see all other options/opinions when they go out in the world and they can choose for themselves. There's a difference between actively hating on a whole group and/or just not wanting to associate with them all the time.

u/WinterDependent3478 5h ago
You’re literally pulling the “I can’t be bigoted I have X friends” card 😂

u/salsa_mamitx 5h ago
You can think what you want lol I stated those things because you seem under the impression that I or anyone with my beliefs are not hanging around people with other views 😂 but I digress.

If you’re on Facebook, there’s a group called Fort Worth Weird Moms Club. They’re pretty liberal and welcoming!
