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.

I also feel like I'm going to have to settle sometimes and I'd just sooner be alone than do that.

Don't settle! Relationships don't have to last forever to be considered successful in my opinion. You can enjoy sharing your time with someone and appreciate it for what it was when it's over and that's still totally ok.

There's billions of people in the world. It's very hard to find another person who is compatible enough to share your life with, but there's fun and experiences to be had on the journey looking for them.

There is always something lacking in a major way and the odds just aren't that good anyway. The stats for men in my age range being conservative is like 70% or more.

This guy that I was just spending time with. Black, well educated aaaaaaaaand conservative, voting red. Our shared hobbies never indicated this either because all of them seemed more like hobbies that those types would avoid. Just what are the odds here?

I feel so unlucky right now. All I'm asking is for someone who is well educated, takes care of themselves, pulls their weight and has humane views. I'm going to fucking cry because apparently that's asking for a lot.

I'm sorry you're feeling so hopeless about this. You're not asking for too much! Sending you a lot of warm thoughts today <3
