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.

I hear you there! You don't sound poor me at all, you sound like someone who has had a lot of shit to deal with. Its important to acknowledge that cos bottling up is bad.
When we come out, we lose people but gain others. It's an emotional time with a lot of upheaval and our people always change it just depends how much. You've lost key people with your mom and dad, they're not distant friends their parents. That's huge.
Obviously we can't go into politics, but I agree your very existence is under threat. I'm queer and I feel at risk because I know the things they say about you are what they used to say about us. They won't stop, and it's terrifying.
Living treading water is hard, and I'm not remotely surprised you've had MH issues. You wouldn't be human if you didn't react to this shit. I'm impressed you can see the positives in your son, and your strength will do great things for him.
Have you found our twin community !dadforaminute@lemmy.world They're great for when you need parental advice or hugs. My parents aren't around so I'm there a fair bit
Thank you for the kind words. I’ll def check out that community 🙂
