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.

Yep you're expected to be grateful for it, or it's dismissed as "what your body is designed to do" (hate that phrase). The only reason far more people don't die is modern medicine, it's dangerous and traumatic. I can't imagine your mum's time was truly understanding of it.
It really wasn't, soon as I was out I was taken away for 2 hours for something (she was never told what) and when she got me back she was convinced I wasn't hers.
When I had mine it was not fun, but in a different way.
I have a lot of love for the rare women who are natural mothers. I wish that were the case for everyone who wants kids.
God your poor mum that must have been awful. I'm sorry she went through that
