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 love Mina Le but hadn't watched that video yet - thanks for linking it!
I'm very nearsighted - in contacts I'm -8.0 on the right and -8.5 on the left. I'm not sure what that equates to in glasses. And while I hate the way I look in glasses, my eyes are dry and I can't wear contacts all the time like I used to. So most of the time I'm wearing glasses. Without them I really can't function, so I'm grateful for them, but I also hate that they get oily from my eyelashes and leave little divots on the sides of my nose. And because my prescription is so strong it flattens out my depth perception, so there are some activities that I can't safely do unless I'm wearing my contacts - for example, hiking.
I feel pretty in contacts, even without makeup. I feel very plain Jane mousey in glasses. They hide my eyes, which are one of my best features.
Generally I think most people are more attractive without glasses vs with, but most of us eventually end up needing them.
