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.

Needing to earn $$$ to be considered succesful.
For me, success is happiness. A clean and beautiful environment with lots of nature, education, adequate and affordable housing, mixed use neighbourhoods, safety, equity, and privacy. Adequate and accessible (mental) healthcare, good rights for all (on queer, labour, women and disabled regards especially), bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. And this being present for everyone.
Nobody pulling each other 'down' for money, but everyone cooperating to help each other. That is what I consider success. It's not money, but general wellbeing, that should form the basis for measuring success.
When you can come to your own house and not panic over politics, violence, being fired at a moment's notice. When you can walk safely by yourself, smell the rain on leaves, know that you're gonna be fine no matter what - when one can just feel ... themselves at peace. That is succes.
For that reason if I see a job go like "you'll earn $100k" but it's terrible and stressful, I'd prefer skipping that for a job that's $60k but doesn't have harassment, is in a good area and I can be myself.
