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 don't think I knew any, not until uni when 3 of us shared a flat and one was a lesbian and then meet more on nights out with her and her friends etc.
In later life I know that at least two people from my school came out as gay and one as trans. And a friend at uni came out as trans years after.
My parents were never homophobic or transphobic overtly, my dad would make some comments that echoed popular humour at the time of making fun of stereotypes. My mother worked for an org that dealt with discrimination claims so she always had a better handle on things.
I do think i grew up with a certain level of homophobia and transphobia, not helped by shows like Little Britain... It was just in the culture but I like to think I've shed basically all of it bar some unwelcome somewhat intrusive dissonant thoughts these days.
