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.

Yeah, I know that it is about to get even worse, but fml at 43 things are getting crazy. My hormones are so out of whack that I'll cry at a video of a puppy being cute.

I'm even getting emotional about writing this post. I guess I just need some kind of comfort and release because Things are crazy.

I'm going to sound like an absolute shill, but through a lot of experimenting with the typical otc perimenopause/hot flash pills, they just don't work. What worked for me is traditional Chinese Medicine Geng Nian An Pian and a wild yam cream. My hot flashes were out of control, like 20 times an hour, just constantly rolling. And all the other symptoms. It was the end of the world and I was losing my mind. After a month, I felt like a normal person again. It's been 3 months since I last had a hot flash.
