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.

The only advice I can give you: Make peace with the idea you might lose him now. Assume he's going to reject you, and be ready to mourn his loss if that's the outcome.
I made peace with the fact that I'd lose them long before I came out to them. I hold out hope that maybe they'll both come around, but ultimately... Being myself, authentically, is worth it.
I'm finally comfortable in my skin, happy with who I am, and I'm not about to let him or anyone else make me feel bad about that.
