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.

Being able-bodied, spent a good chunk of the last week with an ankle brace, a knee brace, and using a splint just to be able to go to my classes.

Having to deal with one kind of arthritis already sucks, but now I have to get looked at for gout too. Which is seems increasingly likely that I do have it. If your body works normally than take 110% advantage of that, because dealing with these conditions fucking sucks. So many places either aren’t designed with disabled people in mind, with disabled people as an afterthought, or with or the infrastructure for disabled people has been left to decay.
