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.

I expected to feel like an "adult". When it didn't happen immediately, I thought it would come fairly soon, what with fulltime employment and becoming a father etc.
Nope. 40+ years old, still feel like a teen lost in the world without a clue where to go or what to do.
I'm a 16 year old in an ever decaying meat husk and I hate it. My brain refuses to feel adulty.
Meh, your meat husk won't start decaying until a year or five, six. Mine's been on the lamb for over two decades.
I am in a never ending routine of doctors currently because it is absolutely decaying and we aren't sure why.
Sorry to hear that; my assumptions were hasty. May they soon find out what's ailing you and treat it accordingly.
It also may have been unclear. My brain says it's 16.
It's been thinking it's 16 since I was 16. Which was ages ago now.
The meat husk is decaying from time but also who knows??? something else hence the doctors.
I'm 59 years old. I think I might grow up in another decade.
Not all men were like my father. I mean he wasn't a perfect person, but he was waaaaaaaaaaaay ahead of most men of his generation and I thought other men would be more like him.
They weren't.
Just how many bills there are just sapping your account. My immersion heater just broke and I really don't want to be dealing with having to get somebody in and paying them... And no, I'm not doing it myself, thats a recipe for floods and fires.
Move out of home? That sounds nice.
Some of my roommates had never cleaned anything (dishes, laundry, etc) before and they were not from wealthy households. They also had eaten most meals as take out or prepared from a box so they were amazed by cooking from scratch.
Nothing. I was taught to cook and to budget.
