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 dated a dude who was very clean and responsible. When our relationship evolved until I was helping him change his bed, I was astounded to discover he was using duvet covers around his entire mattress. He went his whole life believing fitted sheets were some specialty fancy bed garnish.

To be fair, he grew up in a religious cult.

I wonder how many times he went "there has to be a better way to do this!" when hoisting up his mattress.

When I showed him a fitted sheet it brought him deep shame and renewed hope.
