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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
  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.

Yeah, I agree. I've said something similar in the past - I think women are raised to be adults by 18, whereas boys are raised to be overgrown tweens by 18, and their parents call it "good enough", leaving the rest of the job to future girlfriends and wives.

It does everybody a disservice, and it perpetuates this idea that girls mature faster than boys. We don't. We're just forced to grow all the way up and boys aren't.

Can confirm, as a trans woman who's only now starting to come out (and therefore raised as a boy) I am an absolute lady child.

Glad to break those glass ceiling sis, gib me chickie nuggies on my zoo pals plate.
