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…
- 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.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

What's your favourite film?
I have a lot of comfort films but the one I think that stands out as my favourite is The Death of Stalin, which is odd because it is so far removed from all my other favourite films and outside of my usual genres...
I've never seen that what's it about?
Its a black comedy by armando ianucci (who did the thick of it and a lot of other satire) about the events in the ussr immediately after stalin's death, focusing on those highest in the party in the chaos and immediate power grabs.
The cast is amazing, jason isaacs as zhukov, steve buscemi as khrushchev, michael palin as molotov, jeffrey tambor as malenkov but they are all played in the actor's own accent (except isaacs who plays Zhukov as a gruff yorkshireman). Absolutely worth a watch even if your knowledge of soviet party leaders isnt really a thing.
