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.

In some ways yes, in some ways no.
Those who allegedly concieved this body and the sibling one of us has have gotten worse the more we have grown.
We have gone through much trauma, especially related to being neglected or abandoned and have had our desire and ability to do anything resembling a job become less and less over time due to this. We are still trying things to make money but it doesn't look good and without certain types of support we would be having no money coming in.
We struggle against the system as it continues to take any alleged rights we had and just wish to be with those who truly care about us and we truly care about too.
We feel we missed out on a lot of the 'positive' experiences of childhood, both because we were trans and because of all the abuse we experienced. It was a very confusing time.
Now we slowly and carefully gain back our childhood by being who we want, acting 'childish' with those we care about and protect the right of children who are actually small and young to have that right without 'adults' being terrible to them.
Basically no, but it comes down to the systems and societies we find ourselves in. The only thing we can honestly say has gotten better is we understand ourselves better and have found people who actually know how to love and are treating ourselves with consent. The rest though, no, and we wish every day for all these traumatising, unhelpful and ridiculous systems and people to collapse or go away and be replaced with something better.
