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.

OMG I've got this one, different cover though!
I think I read it almost in one go and didn't give up half way through, which is a huge achievement for me
It really helped me understand my autism and explained so many of my difficulties as a child, teenager etc
Spoiler alert, the chapter on older women with autism is very thin, as let's face it we are a small, under diagnosed demographic, but here we are!
Weirdly, I've been thinking a lot recently of women on the margins of society historically, the spinsters, widows, the women who choose live alone because they function differently, and how they've been either ridiculed or treated with hostility and violence
I think I'm beginning my witchy part of life, and I intend to fully embrace it 🧙
edit, forgot to mention, she has some really good videos on YouTube if you find it easier than reading
Thank you so much, that’s helpful! And I know what you mean. I’m also entering my crone era, and fucks are hard to come by.
