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 Feminism@beehaw.org 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.

That the water that comes out of the tap isn't filtered and recycled back into the water system.
Could you clarify?
Like, I thought water that comes out of a house faucet and goes into a drain was filtered and disinfected and would come back out the faucet again. Or someone's faucet. I didn't know until recently that water from the faucet comes from a natural fresh water source, and once it goes into the sewer system, it's just...forever dirty and undrinkable.
They don't put sewer water back into municiple water where I live, but they do usually use it for irrigation or some other non-drinking use, where it will eventually evaporate which is the ultimate filtration because it will fall as rain and return to our natural water source, (groundwater).
Nah, thats not true at all.
Water that hits the sewer system goes through incredibly intense sanitation and filtering out of all the filth before going into the ocean as clean water, where it eventually evaporates and then rains back down into drinking catchments. Cycles round and round
