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'm sure I knew quite a few but didn't know they were LGBT+
Some people I went to school with came out when they were in university. Either because they didn't know before (like me) or they didn't feel like it in school (can't blame them). Several men my parents' age came out in their fifties and live with male partners now. I guess society changed enough for them to feel save enough.
It didn't really change my views. I was raised very liberal and with a "it doesn't affect me at all so why care?" attitude. Though maybe I was a bit ignorant on LGBT+ topics. Maybe I would have realised earlier that I wasn't hetero myself. But since I neither had any problems from not knowing nor from figuring it out, I doesn't matter much to me.
