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.

These both apply to romantic and platonic relationships.
Genuinely apologizing promptly after a fracture makes a huge difference. Avoiding it because you're conflict-averse or self-loathing will make it into a much bigger deal that is harder or perhaps not possible to repair.
When someone tells you that you've hurt them or behaved in a way that is unacceptable to them, it's not an attack on you, but an act of love and trust.* If you don't care enough about someone to stay in a relationship with them, you leave or fade out. If you do, you give them the chance to apologize and grow.
*Not applicable to abusive relationships.
