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've had a chance to try this out, I just got back to my house which is in the middle of a nature reserve halfway up a mountain. For the last 5 weeks I've been working in the middle of a bustling city.

I don't think either extreme is good in the long term - at home it's difficult to go anywhere or do anything that involves other people. Plus it's hard work cutting firewood, trying to keep wold animals at bay, and so on.

In the city, the pollution was high a lot of the time so you couldn't really do outdoor exercise, and there was literally no quiet time of day so sometimes I slept with earplugs in.

My parent's house is the ideal for me, they live about 100m from a big main road in a small historic city and it's quiet. The air is fresh because it's in a first world nation. Everything is easy to get to. And there's lots of culture happening all the time.
