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.

Love the idea of that lending library, and the intergenerational units.

Oh, this is a cool idea. One of the things I value about living in the suburbs is that I can tell my kids to go outside and play with their friends (I hate scheded play dates). This complex totally makes that possible in an urban environment - and I love that. Also, 3+ beds are a must for families.

Ugh same here. I tried really hard, but it's so awkward to make small talk with other parents.

I know, right! It removes all the fun of spontaneous play for our kiddos, and is incredibly hard on the parents. I have a friend who is overwhelmed by the urban parenting, which includes constant play dates, school activities, and entertaining her kids in a tiny enclosed space. Women should probably be in charge of ur an housing going forward...

I can't blame them, it is all consuming! I took a stance pretty early on that I simply didn't have the capacity to sign up for every single playdate, activity, etc. There's still a lot to juggle, but putting those boundaries down really helped.

It would be so nice to live in a place like this where we could share the burden! Rotating who takes the kids to swim lessons, whose hosting the birthday parties, send the kids out to play together. I love that!
