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.

Fresh water, like, from a fridge. I'm autistic and if the water is not fresh enough, I find it really hard to drink.

Otherwise, I guess my Hormone Replacement Therapy is a luxury? I can't live without it. My anxious brain often think about what would happen if my government was to "change", if I was locked up somewhere against my will, or the societal system we live in was to completely collapse,and how I could lose my treatments from that. It's very scary.

AFAIC your HRT is not a "luxury" any more than any other medical necessity.

Hey Omega i hear you totally and you're not scared of your shadow, it's a valid fear. Remember no politics in this community though. And that we have your back 100%

it's not my fault if my very existence is a political issue, it's kind of hard to avoid when talking about my womanhood :(

I'm sorry lady butterfly is being silly, everything is political :p

I do think it's important not to flood this space with news and fear and so it's a good rule to not allow people to shoehorn politics into everything. Obviously sometimes it's integral to the topic at hand and it will come up - no one should have to hide who they are.

(In this case I don't think bringing up fears about losing our rights is uncalled for or off topic - it's a reality women face all across the world, whether it's reproductive rights or the right to take hrt. I'm just saying the comm's rule as a whole has merit.)
