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…
- 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.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

When I was still 'rocking "men's" fashion, the ads were much simpler.
"Luxury watches. Now for luxury men, only €999."
The fashion though, was also notably shittier in that it's dim. Take women's fashion, remove all the interesting patterns and curves and swirls. Change the colourfulness until it's best described as "depressed pastel trying to be cheerful".
Sweaters and trousers, maybe a scarf if you're feeling avocado toasty.
There you go, that's 99% of "men's" fashion. Thank fuck I moved on from that and realised, why be bound by that? I now shop in whatever I like. If it's women's or men's or a genderfuck, idc, if I like it I like it. :3
Being a woman in that regard liberated me, tbh. I feel men's fashion could use some spruce up, too! skirts for men, swirls and curves, all fun stuff.
I think I could be into men if they paid more attention to their manner of dress. I find they're usually quite colourless and plain, and that's just not attractive to me.
Men's color palettes are awful. I can't count the number of times I've read menswear advice that tells readers to wear colors from nature, and then pretends that flowers, sunsets, and rainbows don't exist.
Colors are good I like colors.
Looking out of the board room window: see grey parking lots, black railings, white cars, a single patch of green and brown trees, all under a hazy, pale blue sky.
Board members turn to each other: "Yes, these are nature colors."
And then they forget to look at other perspectives:
a red dawn,
the orange rise, the yellow light,
a green grass
bluish water and sky
purple flowers
white clouds and black panthers
nature is so much more colourful and unique than one might expect, and that's the beauty of it.
Anytime someone says "do X from nature" they generally have little knowledge of what nature has.
