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.

Life can be hard, so let's take a moment to look at what makes us happy to be alive. Is it your child laughing? Your job or friends? Large tub of ice cream?

This might sound strange, but something that truly makes me happy is my best friend. She brightens my days and makes my life better just by being in it. I feel a deep sense of gratitude for having her. Meeting her and being met with the same affection, and being able to build this incredible friendship together, has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. What brings me joy, above all, is knowing that people like her exist and that I’ve been lucky enough to have her in my life. My best friend is an extraordinary woman. She has a huge heart and is beautiful, inside and out. She’s so kind that even to the people who’ve hurt her, she still wishes them well. I see it in her eyes. She genuinely feels compassion when she sees others suffering, even those who’ve wronged her. She faces life with such positivity and gratitude. She’s been through so many challenges, including serious financial hardship, and yet she always kept smiling. Even when she became homeless, she still made jokes and kept everyone’s spirits up. She’s a “girls’ girl” who never tears other women down, feels confident in her own skin, and lifts everyone around her, especially when it comes to self-esteem. She’s affectionate with all her friends, believes in true love, and lives with integrity. She is unapologetically herself and never hides who she is. On top of all that, she knows how to fight as a sport, which I deeply admire.

Despite not living in the same city, we’ve managed to overcome many difficulties together. When she was homeless, we joined forces and bought a camper van that she now lives in. It’s fully equipped, beautiful, and cozy, just like a real home, and she takes such good care of it. She’s so happy now, and that makes me incredibly happy too. One of my biggest dreams is for her to find true love in a partner and to be deeply happy, because she deserves all the love and joy this world has to offer.
