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 often think "I'm not good at anything", but I mean, I'm okay at some stuff.
I had almost no experience with Linux prior to installing Arch on my PC. I can't explain it; I guess it's because I'm a programmer? I kinda just have a knack for "computer stuff".
And music I guess? I don't know that it's good enough to monetise my little hobby, but I get plenty of joy out of it. I wish I could play jazz piano and/or guitar though.
Also it seems I'm pretty good at like, words and stuff? Maybe it's because I'm autistic, but I'm rather proficient in a variety linguistic areas.
I don’t feel exceptional in any area myself. I had a programming class last fall that I did well in. I would like to do more. But I just haven’t had the time. Often I feel like I’m too busy with the mundane obligations of life to excel. Other times I wonder whether certain people have different drives than I do.
As someone with major Shiny Object Syndrome, I have like a gazillion hobbies, and I'm not truly exceptional at any of them. 'Tis my curse, I suppose.
