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.

Yeah I do basically the same thing, it's rough when you actually want something but on the outside seem uncertain or reserved because you internally constantly think people hate you haha. And then it makes it difficult for the other person
Probably why I enjoy saying like "do whatever unless I say [safe word]". But still something that I need to work on, and actually be like, directly communicating. It's healthy
Edit: on a second read, I slightly misinterpreted your comment, but I'll leave it
Eh, it goes both ways. I don't ask for what I want or object clearly to the things I don't want. One of the many reasons I have just decided to abstain from absolutely everything for now. Still haven't figured out the correct way to accept a drunken compliment without accidentally inviting further advances though.
"Thank you for the compliment. Pity I can't return it."
That would likely end any further conversation along those lines.
Or to put it in the words of The Monks: "Nice legs, shame about yer face."
Pull my finger.
