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.

We often have a terrible relationship with our weight. We're too fat, too thin, our weights on the wrong part of our body etc. How much does your weight bother you?

Please don't post your weight, numbers can be triggering for people with a history of disordered eating

Skinny fat is kinda me! It's all in my belly I look pregnant, it's bizarre and I'm really conscious of it. I've found since I hit 40 that's got worse and the last 12 months it's been really bad. I'm having to change how I dress cos dresses are more forgiving than trousers

Is it peri menopause? My mom gets a really bloated tummy which is very similar to a little pregnant belly. She read it's very common and can last for like up to ten years, which sucks. None of her normal clothes or styles work on this completely new body type.

I've been wondering that, I don't have any other symptoms though. I know that's gonna be the next big thing in my life and I'm not looking forward to it!

I love high-waisted jeans for the same reasons! I can get into all my old dresses, but they can be a little tight, so those are for special occasions only until I have a flat tummy again 🙃

Ah high waisted jeans... especially in stretchy fabric
