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.

It can be very mixed. Some women are girl's girls, some don't gel well with them. How do you get on with them?

I get along with other women pretty well on a surface level, but it can be hard to really relate to a lot of women my age because I don't have kids. And there is a certain amount of stereotypically female pop culture that I'm not into, like the Kardashians or romantasy books, which can be limiting when I'm trying to connect with someone new.

I'd love to make IRL friends with some women my age who share some of my interests - makeup, nail polish, star trek, kayaking, gardening, '60s music, weightlifting, French language. But I don't know how! I've struck out on Bumble BFF and kind of gave up for a bit haha

Yep a lot of women my age have kids, so they cant get out much. When they can best thing is play dates so the kids are entertained. I can't get involved with that plus it's a conversation topic we just don't share. It makes it hard

This is exactly how I feel as someone who also has niche interests. Things are mutually friendly for sure, but it's not very easy to sustain a friendship just on small talk.
