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. 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.
- 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.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Somewhat. I'm more annoyed that my belly is more man-ish than woman-ish and is bigger than my chest right now. Now, considering how well... endowed... the AFAB women in my family are and the fact that I've only been on hrt for about 5 months, that's gonna change. But... I feel like the "man belly" and lack of boobage contributes to me being misgendered despite all the people who know me saying I'm already basically fem-drogynous. It's a struggle not to abuse my hrt meds and take more than I'm supposed to.
I'm 30 damn it, if I'd come out 10yrs ago I'd probably be done transitioning.
Oh well.
Edit: something I like about the furry community is how much body-positive art exists. It used to be that the furry community had the same issues with idealizing anorexia; however, nowadays furry art tends to have a wide variety of body types ranging from relatively typical to chubby, stocky, morbidly obese, etc. Very affirming and helped me learn to be okay with my weight, though I'm still kinda annoyed with how my body fat is actually distributed. >.>
If it helps, unless your current dose is too low taking a higher dose of your HRT meds isn't going to make their effects happen faster. Your body only makes so much SHBG (Sex hormone binding globulin), which it needs to actually use the estrogen you're taking.
Interesting. Hmm...
