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.

The last three times I wore makeup were the last three weddings I’ve been in (including my own).
I’m conventionally attractive, possibly an egg, and incredibly uncomfortable with being considered attractive by anyone other than my husband, so I dress like a mailman and engage in zero grooming other than hygiene (washing, brushing, deodorant). I have a mild unibrow, which is very effective at discouraging people from commenting on my appearance.
When they comment more generally about makeup vs no makeup, I tend to take it neutrally. If I think they’re being shitty/sexist, I’ll tell them that I prefer my men with just tasteful accents. Then, if they respond angrily, I’ll tell them that they should learn to embrace their natural beauty and there are plenty of demos online if they want to learn.
