Can TR create a separate forum category for discussions specific to women? While many of the training concepts may be applicable to both sexes, maybe that isn’t such a good assumption… Thanks! ---

I created a topic for women’s nutrition… why don’t we just start a separate one on training? > [@Women's Nutrition](https://www.trainerroad.com/forumt/womens-nutrition/19689): > > Ok, I’ve been following a lot of the threads on nutrition, but I think that with very few exceptions a lot of the discussions are by men. Nothing wrong with that, but I’ve found enough differences as a woman (especially now that I’m over 40) that I thought it might be worth starting a separate thread. In particular, fasted workouts don’t work for me. I know they’re very popular here by a lot of guys, particularly to try to lose weight, but I’ve found that they just don’t work for me, even for ea… ---

I didn’t even know there were categories on this forum until you mentioned it! 🤔 So even with a category, unless the specificity is in the topic title you might not get your desired results. ---

Sorry to butt in. In principle a great idea. However, this forum doesn’t have sub forums at this point, but instead uses tags. So you’d probably want a tag. ---

I suggest using “Women"s” in any appropriate thread title as shown above. Additionally, using a Tag (which is effectively a subheading) is helpful. Both can be used in search to refine results. It look like we need to add a “womens” Tag to most categories because I don’t see them. I can add them, but @Bryce should be able to help with this. ---

> [@nreinker](#): > > Can TR create a separate forum category for discussions specific to women? Hey @nreinker, I think having a tag for women’s specific conversations would be a great way to improve navigation and help to find the exact conversation you’re looking for. I have added the tag #womens-specific to the Training, Racing, Nutrition, Equipment, and Results categories 👍
