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.

  • Protect your time and your peace. You don't always have to say yes to every request or invitation. Get comfortable with saying no and advocate for yourself.
  • Prioritize your physical health. Drink a bunch of water, commit to a regular weightlifting regimen, learn about nutrition, count your calories and macros, watch out for saturated fat and limit your sugar, eat a fuckton of protein (1 gram per pound of ideal body weight), make sure you get at least 25 grams of fiber daily, and limit alcohol and caffeine. The goal is to age healthily!
  • SUNSCREEN. For godsake use mineral sunscreen with both titanium and zinc. Not because it'll help keep you looking young (although that is a nice side effect), but because you are pale as fuck and the dermatologist is gonna have to remove a bunch of things from you in your thirties, and you'll hate the scars.
  • Yes you need to floss. No it's not optional.
  • Learn to differentiate between need and want. I need a roof over my head. I want that new eyeshadow palette. Most of your spending should go toward needs, and set aside a small amount for wants. The rest goes in savings (consider that a need too).
  • It's OK to be imperfect, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't strive for perfection.

And

  • Be proud of yourself!
