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

I wasn't buying myself jewelry because of something someone said to me once.
There was a blowout sale a few weeks ago at a department store that was going out of business. I couldn't say no to 70% off so I bought myself some damn jewelry.
Now I just need to convince myself I deserve to wear it. Baby steps.
Writing this out made me think about how the things people say to us can really become our own inner dialog about ourselves.
I have a long inseam and yet one of my exes told me I have "stubby legs" and that's all I see when I look in the mirror. That was also when I was in the best shape of my life. Good grief, what an asshole. Good riddance!
Absolutely with you on that, one of my exes told me that flirting while doing my favourite sociable hobby would be creepy and spoil it for other people ... I took that on board for some reason, even though we had met by her flirting with me doing that same hobby.
Long story short - wear your jewelry, I bet it looks awesome :-)
Thank you 🥹
