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 [email protected] 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'm getting my hair done today! It's so scraggly at the ends I think he'll need to use gardening shears but I can't wait to see it done.

@[email protected] has been doing some amazing posts on kick ass women through history and I've been gripped by each one. Absolutely GRIPPED.

I've losing access to academic journals soon so I've been bashing topics I'm interested in. I've nearly finished reading the stuff on childhood emotional abuse which has been really interesting

Hope it turns out well! Hair appointments can be a bit nerve wracking

Whoops, mea culpa, I was under the impression there was a specific magazine for it. Thanks!

I'm so grateful for the kindness of this community. It's so easy to fall into a habit of letting the worst version of ourselves have the reigns, it's so good to be in the company of those whose behavior reminds me to let the better versions of myself do the driving. Thanks again.

Thanks Maeve, that's a really nice thing to say. And you're a valued part of it all 😊

You're welcome and thank you, too. It's great to have the extra support as the community is navigating proper care and assistance for our brother.

After having gotten my sleep on track, we had a community member in crises that completely disrupted my re-established pattern. Chores are still behind, and I woke up twice, briefly last night, then went back to sleep for several hours and had rem sleep. I'm still yawning but it was a victory. Got to spend time actually giving my fur baby some attention.

Eta: I feel like every day is a good day, but my perspective may go sideways due to challenges that are outside of my comfort zone. I'm trying to reframe these challenges as "free mental/spiritual/ intellectual/your word voice workouts. I'm not saying they're easy. I'm saying I can choose to look at it as opportunities to grow.

World travel plans! Been so busy lately planning everything and organizing things with my family and this is going to open up so many new opportunities, experiences and challenges for me. Have hardly had any time for my socials because I've been so busy! 😭

Last night I picked up my partner at the airport, surprised them with flowers and special frozen desserts. It's always good to be reunited with a loved one 🥰
