Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

ysk alcohol is a depressant btw.

when you're happy after drinking lots of it, you're likely happy despite the alcohol, not because of it.

While in general it is true that alcohol slows down the central nervous system (hence, "a depressant"), it also activates reward-related pathways, which is why it causes the widely known sense of euphoria.

Here's a study where they MRI the brain to confirm it.

It also seems to depress fear-related pathways, which explains drunkard's poor decision making, but adds to the happy feeling if you were stressed or anxious.

I was in the middle of typing what is essentially the same response but had to put my kids to bed.

It's also worth pointing out that although alcohol consumption doesn't cause depression, it's a good indicator of it. But, the powers that be would rather put the blame on alcohol consumption because it puts the blame on the patient rather than the whole system. And as a nice little side effect the government earns big from the sale of alcohol and the pharmaceutical companies earn big from the sale of antidepressants. Neither of which would be necessary if we weren't expected to justify our existence by putting up with terrible working conditions and survival wages with the constant threat of starvation and homelessness as our only incentive to continue.

Sorry for ranting.
