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.

Oh yes. I have quite an arc! Was homeless as a teenager, and poor for a long time, worked up to solidly part of the dwindling middle class. In looks too - I was an awkward skinny tall girl, in a world that valued short and stacked, but as a middle aged woman I looked good, tretinoin fixed my skin, and in terms of health I literally feel good physically at an age when many have complaints.
Specific to aging, I think the more widely acknowledged improvements are in patience with yourself and others, and perspective from experience. Less hotheaded, more thoughtful, that is more comfortable.
