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.

Children are seen as witnesses in domestic abuse but they're so much more. They do so much to protect themselves and others and you're a strong example. You worked that situation really well to keep everyone safe, and it's made you highly skilled. You're inspirational

Honestly, it makes my day to hear that. Thanks. I don't always like to think anything good could possibly have come from living through that, but it's also good to know I'm not completely broken as a result.

I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true, you earned the words 🥰
