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.

Flying. That's my Cryptonite. It's not necessarily a problem with heights since I do love hiking, but at least I've got solid ground under my feet and if I fall down, well, that's my dumb mistake then for not being careful enough. The mountains and hills are my friends.
Then again I do struggle with sitting on a balcony 3rd floor or higher, I really don't like staircases with gaps between each step and I can not climb up a ladder higher than two meters.
I never fly. Even if you offered me a million Euros, I would not accept the deal. Every time I travel between mainland Europe and the UK or Ireland, I take busses, trains and ferries. It takes fairly long (2 days), it's expensive, but fuck no to flying.
Then again my superpower is to never get seasick. I grew up in a very maritime environment, I knew how to kayak before I learnt how to ride a bicycle at age 5. I love stormy seas, it makes me feel very alive.
Last time I took the ferry from France to England, the ship went into a massive storm. All the furniture was moving around, most passengers got seasick. The lad next to my table was just hugging his table trying not to throw up - while I was sitting next to him with a cold pint of beer, smiling, having the time of my life. :D
