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 wish I could upvote this more than once.

With multiple accounts anything is possible!

Don't try with only one account that just removes the upvote.

Fix my own car.

I tried changing my own oil, couldn't get the drain plug loose, was so frustrated. Another time I had a coolant leak and need to swap out a hose, it was winter, I hurt my hands, snapped some plastic part, and cried.

I don't work on my own cars now.

I'm amazed you even tried! I can barely put air in my tyres

[–] [email protected] 5 points 21 hours ago

I really did try lol

I like old cars, as a broke person, the only way it makes sense to have one is if you know how to work on it yourself.

I've a greater understanding why most mechanics hate themselves lol

Date a dumb man, no matter how attractive he was.

Can I ask why? In theory they'd make my life easier, but I feel like they're also a disaster waiting to happen

Being in a straight appearing relationship with a guy. I felt like my queerness was completely lost, and I hated the assumptions that people started making about me and the relationship.

Only openly queer relationships for me thank you!

As I went from visibly trans to passing, my relationship with my partner went from an obviously queer one to what most people now assume is a platonic friendship between two cis women.

I personally feel like I'm in a more queer relationship now, but the queerness disappears to others due to heteronormative eyes. It does not seem to make a difference that we hold hands in public, that I engage in touch and other PDA.

Harvesting porcupine quills.

What a nightmare. I'm amazed I didn't get Porcupine aids... Or maybe I did...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Why are porcupine quills used for? Why would you want to harvest them? Or is this a turn of phrase I'm taking wayy to literally?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

Not often used now, but they are plucked, cleaned and often dyed, then woven into baskets or as trim for clothing/hats. The guard hairs are also used for ceremonial head dresses.

So no, sadly, not a turn of phrase. I literally had my hands in a soapy bath of porcupine quills and shit, getting stabbed endlessly as I tried to clean them. I got maybe 40-50. They are in a jar to remind me of my folly.

I agree... how do you cope financially though?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

There are companies with a 35 hour work week.

Having fun.

I tried having fun once, but I didn't like it. So now I'm against it.
