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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
  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 [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.

I will eventually get around to Cleopatra and hoo boy howdy are there myths to bust there. Like:

  1. She wasn't particularly beautiful (physically).
  2. She wasn't a femme fatale as her typical portrayal shows her.

And so on. She's a good example of a strong woman (just not as strong as Hapshetsup was) whose history was rewritten.
