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've achieved some of my childhood dreams, but not in the idealistically perfect way with little adversity I imagined back then. Many of my achievements have wrinkles or baggage, or in a few cases, are dark ironic twists on the things I always wanted 🙃

Nothing's perfect though, and the fact that I had to fight for the life I have makes it feel more earned. I think it's oddly better this way.
