I've been learning about the brain and some psychology, it really helps to be able to see between the lines of what people think or their motivations and insecurities. I've always had a bit of a read people gift (thanks childhood trauma!). But learning it this way also helped me kill the people pleasing side of me that was super toxic (again, thabks childhood trauma).

I don't recommend the trauma pathway, but I do recommend learning about the brain, you could pick up enough skills to see what's happening internally, for someone. I get it now, how psychologists can tell what's going on with people, without them really saying.

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.
