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.

I’m a M42 year old Native American living in north eastern Nevada and I was asked by the moderator to make a post about my experience and life as a Native American. I was born and raised in the current area I’m living in now I'm part of the western Shoshone natives of the newe tribe. Life is alright for the most part. We have our struggles and strengths like any other community. I’m not sure what else to say about myself but I’m open to answering questions in the comments. Love and respect. 🪶

That's really eye opening thanks, I'd always heard people say Native Americans have low rates of education. And I totally agree with you on having a voice, which is why I'm really glad you've done this post!

How important is tradition in your culture? And how different are other tribes? Just wondering cos Native Americans tend to get lumped together in a group.

Tradition is important in all aspects of life for natives I feel it’s just depends on how and who wants to learn and listen. Sadly it is a dying thing, I personally can’t speak my native language at all I know a few words but that’s it.
