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 couldn't live without reading.
Do you like to listen to music?
I LOVE music! It's the ideal medium for feeling your feels, and for that, I owe it my deepest appreciation!
What a fun hobby of yours thay many would consider odd?
...
...
Do you want that list alphabetically or chronologically? 😀
I think I'll go with my most recently started one. I'm learning how to carve signature chops. But I'm going old school: hyper-sharp chisels to carve recalcitrant rock with complex old-school Chinese characters. Most people doing chops these days use those high speed hand drill thingies. ("Dremel"? Can't remember the name.)
What do you secretly like that other people generally dislike?
Do you have any dietary requirements?
Aside from being lightly lactose intolerant and for some reason extremely intolerant at a GI level of blood products, no. The only dietary requirement I have is that the food tastes good.
Who cut your hair, Ma'am?
My local hairdresser he's very good! Do you wear much make up?
I don't wear makeup at all usually. For special occasions I'll do some very light touch-ups: lipstick, mascara, and eye shadow usually.
What can you usually not abide in a person on first meeting them?
Someone who interrupts! Can't stand that. Also, someone who's aggressively negative or likes to look down on everything.
What's your least favorite thing about your favorite season?
Someone who interr…
Oh, I know, right!? That's TERRIBLE! I hate people who do that too! 🤭
My favourite season is spring because that's when all the things I love come back. Tea plants. Plum blossoms. Green leaves and many flowers.
But ...
I could live without the weeks-long rainfalls.
Do you like tech or not?
I love spring too! Lifts me right out of the winter blues :)
I used to love tech, but I've fallen out of love with it. It used to be exciting and fun, but it's all gotten so enshittified over the years. Plus, consumer electronics used to have exciting new features - every time you got a new phone it was a huge level up from the old one. Now it's stabilized, and new phones are a slightly improved iteration of the old one. (Or slightly worsened, still salty about losing headphone jacks!)
What's your favorite way to kill time?
What's your favourite colour?
Red. Specifically deep reds like these:
- #912f2f
- #800020
(You can use https://html-color.codes/ to see what those colours are.)
What is your favourite fish? You can interpret "favourite" however you like: culinary, looks, weirdness, whatever.
#800020 is one of my favorite reds too!
For eating, mahi mahi (flavor and texture) and salmon (lox, sushi, and health benefits). For looking at, fairy wrasse:
Aren't they pretty!
What's your favorite way to start the day?
They're gorgeous 😍
Lazy cuddling with the SO on weekends.
Are you afraid of the dark?
(And yes, they're absolutely gorgeous!)
No, I love the dark. Strange thing about me, when I'm stressed I seek out small dark spaces, usually inside a closet because there are no windows. I don't know why but I've always been like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What's one luxury you'd love to have but would probably never buy even if you could afford it?
I keep eyeing the possibility of buying a high-end guqin:
Or perhaps instead a guzheng:
It's all fantasy, though, because I'll never even get past the basics of learning how to play one. But they're absolutely beautiful. And really expensive if you want a good one.
Now for the question: Why?
Green! I love plants. What is your favorite breakfast food?
On special occasions I have boiled eggs and soldiers. What is your worst chore to do?
Cleaning cast iron pans. What is your favorite sea animal?
Cleaning the basement gym - specifically the floor. I bought horse stall mats to go under the equipment and they're great as flooring but they're a bitch to clean.
What are you procrastinating on the most right now?
Really boring admin work at work cry cry
What country would you love to visit?
Japan! It looks so beautiful :) And also England because I'm a huge Beatles fan and would love to do all the Beatles-related tourist nonsense haha
What's your favorite way to treat yourself?
I've always wanted to go Japan! And Liverpool is pretty cool.
Favourite way is a brownie from the expensive cake shop and a coffee while watching telly. What's your favourite sitcom?
Barney Miller or All in the Family. Straight 50/50 split between those two.
German or French cuisine?
"Hot dry noodles". A Wuhan delicacy. Alkaline noodles (so not spaghetti!) in a sauce made with Shanxi vinegar, light soy, dark soy, chicken broth, and sesame paste. Garnished with chives and/or coriander and/or assorted chopped pickles.
What's your favourite breakfast DRINK?
That sounds delicious!
Tea is my favorite breakfast drink. Mostly prefer green teas, but I haven’t met a tea I don’t like.
What’s your favorite baked good?
