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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
  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.

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.

@ZDL@ttrpg.network 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

A fresh look always feels great! I've seen those kick ass women posts too, absolutely great stuff. I hope you're able to cram in all the reading you can, or somehow save a copy of what you can't before you lose access to those journals! That is a really great resource to have available.

Can we get a link to those posts, please?

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure, if you click on @ZDL@ttrpg.network then go to her posts they all show

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

I have a pretty sarcastic and mean streak myself; but this community tends to bring out the better side of me, so yes, you're right.

@CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al / @LadyButterfly@lemmy.world / @dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone: I don't know if Lemmy has pinned messages, but if it does, maybe we could provide a pinned message that links to all the "Kick-Ass Women from History" posts for ease of access?

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 5 points 1 week ago

Great idea! I'll get that sorted later today
