Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

That's a really good idea, it helps the child learn DIY but also to be careful with tools. If someone did that with me I wouldn't be so fucking useless with them

I hear you. When I was a young girl my parents were too anxious to let us use tools and I don't want this to happen to any kid. I was lucky enough to find one of these rare boyfriends who teach and explain instead of taking the tools out of their girlfriend's hands and do the job themselves. With his help I started building my first tiny house when I was 17. One of the items still on my bucket list is organizing DIY workshops for women to boost their confidence around DIY.

That's amazing!! You've got great skills there, you can be really proud of yourself. Your workshop is a great idea! I'm a domestic abuse outreach worker that's the kind of session we'd love to do it's really empowering

Oh yes, that's a great and empowering thing to teach to DA victims! No need to suffer abusive a***holes when you are capable of repairing and building your own stuff. Very inspiring, now I know where to preferably offer those sessions!

Yep and it would really help with self esteem! I literally can't see a downside
