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 just written a big comment, so I'm all worded out, but I wanted to say that I'm super glad to have you here, friend. I will never judge someone for relying on maladaptive coping measures like alcohol (because God knows I've had plenty of experience with that kind of desperation), but I hope that self actualisation and a supportive community make it easier to rely healthier coping strategies.

Thanks!!! I've broken my dependence and don't even crave it anymore, I never have the desire to be tipsy much less drunk again, but if the world was gonna get hit by a meteor tomorrow I'd have a nice swig of highland single malt scotch right before it hits cause that is the one spirit I miss.
