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 moment I thought: "What is the point of everything if I'm not myself? Who else am I living for?"
I had a lot of confidence issues as a teen and young adult and hid a lot of myself. It was still a long way after this realisation and I'm not quite there yet, but I'm so much happier since my baseline is "this is who I am, take it or leave it."
Social life has also improved. Turns out people like a personality even with flaws better than no personality. Who would have thought? (Not 15 year old me, apparently)
Oh yes x2 to that last part - the tricky bit is getting to the point of genuinely giving no fucks
