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 was kicking it pretty well then menopause hit and now my thermoregulation is fuucked and and my muscle tone is disappearing like crazy despite doing the same amount of heavy labour.

Tiredness wasn't menopause though, it was a mis-prescribed med for a misdiagnosed acid reflux (turns out i'm just slightly allergic to vanilla coke...dammit) that should never have been prescribed to someone with chronically low iron levels.

Protip kiddies: don't take esopramazol / nexium if you have low iron issues. It fucking blocks gut absorption.
