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.

Trigger for CSA and SA

I'm a trans woman. My story is messed up.

The first girl's clothes I ever wore were a pair of tiny tight-fitting shorts and top. I was made to put them on by my abuser. I was 11 years old.

It took decades for me to finally come out as a woman. My very first night out, I got dressed up. First time wearing a short skirt since my teens. I wasn’t prepared for the attention. I was sexually assaulted twice.

I still need to hear it's not my fault. I know it intellectually, but I don't really feel it. So I am grateful for the message of this post 🙏✨️

It was not your fault. The people at fault are the ones who assaulted you. Don’t give them any leeway by trying to take blame onto yourself.

Holy shit I'm so sorry this happened to you, that's so awful!

Thank you 🙏. The good news is that I have people in my life who support me - and a great therapist.

Healing is tough, but I am tougher!
