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.

Since I'm teaching music, I always have to be creative. Today I took our dog to school and every child went crazy about it. Parked her in the office eventually because it's too loud in my classroom.
I gave the little ones a lesson in double kick drums today. That was a lot of fun. Especially because I'm a gal drummer and very few of us do that sort of thing. ^^
You’re super cool! Drums were always my favorite growing up. I took lessons in 5th grade and loved it so much. I’m glad there are gal drummers like you out there.
I’ve never truly forgiven my 6th grade music teacher for pulling me out of percussion and putting me on violin because it’s a “better instrument for women”. He wouldn’t even let me play the upright bass, that was “too heavy for women”. This was the mid-90s and he was old enough to have taught my mom the flute. I did enjoy the violin a lot, but playing the chimes for Carol of the Bells was so much fun.
Is your ex music teacher still alive and based in Europe? If so, I might want to go smack him in the gob! 😄
Appreciate it, but I doubt it. Guy was in his 60s over 30 years ago and he taught my mom in the 1960s, he may not even be alive anymore. He was otherwise a good enough teacher, but that was something that always irked me.
