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.

There's certain things that are seen as classically female. Shopping, kids, crafting, gossip etc are all seen as women's stuff, but we dont all like them. What classically female things do you like?

To a point I really don't like gendered "hobbies".

I'm really tired of society telling me what it feminine and what it not. "Kids" is femine? I've met more men desperate for kids than I have women. I'm the most "dad" mom I know. My husband tells me I even smoke weed like an old dad rolling my Js.

I don't wear makeup or nail polish, I've never like the color pink or purple, gossip is only fun with my friend who is divorcing her republican husband. Shopping is hell on earth.

I do like cooking, and gardening, but those things should not be gendered. I like mens sandles because they are more comfortable than women's for me. I like getting my hands dirty in the dirt. I like being tough and strong.

Im in a bad mood, I'll step away from this conversation that obviously isnt meant for me

Today, nothing feels like it's meant for me. I want to go camping. I want to drink a sour by a bonfire. Sour beer. There, I think that's feminine. I hate IPAs but I loved sours. I had to give up drinking because of my husbands issue with it. Which is fine, but damn i could go for a sour and a bonfire.

To NOT be a mom and housewife and for five fucking seconds. Let me on a quad. :(

I feel this on a profound level. I never feel more feminine than when I'm in nature, mostly since it's nice to just escape and not have to worry about things like societal expectations.

My campfire drink of choice is a milk stout, preferably if it's chocolate-y or maple-infused.
