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.

Weddings and such. I like a relaxed and casual atmosphere and feel out of place at formal and performative events.
Romance novels and films: I find them dull.
I actually love personal styling like hair, makeup, nails, and jewelry but I do these things infrequently and by myself because I can’t be arsed with the time and maintenance costs that go into getting them done professionally, and they usually get in the way of the things I do daily.
Yeah same. I seem to have little tolerance for romance as a genre. All the tropes and common plot lines, and relying on it for the central plot just aren't engaging to me. Plus so much of that media glamorizes abuse, and harmful or problematic relationship dynamics. That's not my idea of fantasy. I would rather read a reference guide to ferns.
Most weddings are sitting around waiting for stuff to happen. I can’t blame you for not liking them!
True :)
When I wrote the comment, I meant that I wouldn’t want to have a wedding, at least nothing resembling a traditional one, and then halfway through I realized that I’m not a big fan of attending formal events either.
If the love is there, I don’t need a spectacle, rings, vows, and a dress I’ll only wear once to show that.
Oh! I misunderstood.
It sounds helpful you have a clear idea of how you’d want yours to be. It saves stress and the logistics headache down the line.
