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.

Disabled people can get bombarded with questions, which can be pretty tiring.... alternatively the disability can be totally ignored which can be rough. Is there a question you're tired of being asked?

The world is so baby obsessed that the thought of removing a uterus to treat a debilitating disease is fucking unthinkable.

...

People get visibly and verbally disappointed when I say that I don’t want kids.

I will never understand this, even as someone who now wishes she could get pregnant but can't ... having kids is such a huge and personal choice, it's hard for me to understand where people are coming from when they are so normative about it with other people. My own desires don't translate to wishing other people have kids too. (I know I'm different in many ways, but still, that's my point - I'm different and don't understand other people.)

I'm so sorry you face this social stigma, it strikes me as misogynistic and reductive (as well as just rude and inconsiderate to your suffering and reality). I'm so glad you have your surgeon!
