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.

Survive. Sorry for being depressing but shit was ROUGH when I was young, and I never thought I'd get through it. But I did! I did the work i needed to do on myself and I got through it all

Totally valid and worth praise. I'm just coming out of a rough patch due to some events and loss of my support systems a while ago. And I had lots of barely survived stuff when I was younger. So happy to hear you're surviving.

Congrats! I hope you have time for yourself and can relax :)

Losing some 40kg of fat, then building 15kg of muscle!

Though, to be fair, I went into it with the idea that every kilo down was a victory. Didn't expect to ever hit a healthy weight, but persistence pays!

I got an itty bitty raise this month and have been more social than usual. 🐸

Nice work! Well done for doing that it's 2 successes in a short time period

I got my updated drivers licence with my name and gender! Not a big thing I'm the grand scheme of things, but it matters a lot to me.

I installed Linux on my computer! Never thought I could do that myself. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the one game I play to run, so I reinstalled Windows. But I’m going to try again because I really want off of Microsoft products, I just need to do a bit of research.

Hi! I also got Linux running recently. Not sure what distro you used, but a friend recommended Nobara to me since it comes native with all the things necessary to run Windows games, like Wine. So far I haven't had any issues, but none of the games I play use kernel level anti cheat.

I tried Ubuntu and the only game I play is World of Warcraft. I tried installing it through Wine and Lutris, but it kept freezing. I’ll check out Nobara, I was also going to look at Bazzite, but I have some reservations with my video card on that one. Thanks for the tip.
