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 don’t hear it talked about often, but vertigo is also a symptom. My vertigo episodes aren’t frequent and usually only during specific activities, so it’s not a big issue at this time. I typically get vertigo when I park my car on a slight incline; when the car settles into park, it feels like the entire car is rolling away and I have to sit and stare at a fixed point until it passes. Thankfully, it only lasts a few seconds but it is noticeable.

Oh my god, peri could be why I had issues with vertigo late last year?! Ugh. But also thanks for the heads up!

It’s quite possible! Mine have not been severe thankfully, but I know what triggers it so I can be prepared.
