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 [email protected] 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.

Oh, horrifyingly hard. Hate it. Makes me cry. Hate that too, which makes me cry.
Vicious cycle.
It is hard Rebekah I used to be horrendous at it. We just aren't taught or encouraged to do it, and there can be bad consequences when we do it. Do you know what lead to you struggling with it?
I think simply existing made it worse! And conflicting everything as a kid, just freeze up entirely.
It is really hard mate, women are less likely to play contact sports, have assertive role models or be encouraged to stand up for ourselves. Then our childhood experiences can make it even harder. It took a lot of counselling, practice and just getting older to get good at it.
Men with tits or women who deserve comeuppance is a good way of putting it!
