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.

I went shopping for a swimsuit last week ... fuck me sideways, all the fancy stuff was either stupidly expensive, or frumpy, or full of that shaping shit.
In the end I went and got a basic one-piece that's made for people who actually want to swim, there's nothing extra in it - for better or worse - all eyes will be on my nipples, I'm sure.
It was really cheap, and in happy colours, too :-)
I have a 2 piece "al la carte" that I'm happy with rn but this is my plan for my next swim suit. Thanks for the idea.
Last year I paired a humankind top (it's basically a sports bra for water) with a pair of solid-colored swim shorts from the guys' section. The shorts have a shorter inseam but in a "men's" way so I still get plenty of bum coverage. I feel cute in the combo, but more importantly it covers what I need to cover and (for better) does the opposite of sexualize me.
That said I definitely want to find a cute one-piece that I'm comfortable in!
If I could have found a nice cheap bikini I would totally have gone for that instead, but I could only find ugly or expensive ones this year ... my last bikini top had stitching coming apart - had I realised I'd have had a go at reparing it
