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 Feminism@beehaw.org 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.

Women are taught to put themselves down, and heavily criticise themselves. We face a lot of obstacles in life and sometimes have no support for them. What's something you've achieved against all odds?

I moved out at 18 and graduated college with a bachelors degree in 2.5 years. It’s a period in my life I’m glad I’ll never have to go back to, I worked multiple jobs and took way too many credits each semester and through the summers. But a lot of family members didn’t think I would be able to make it on my own.

That's incredible! You proved everyone wrong and worked so hard, well done
