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.

This is perhaps dumb, but I'm going to a bridal shower for a woman who I used to live next door to and babysat as a little girl in the '90s. She was too young when we moved away to remember me, but she's grown up hearing all about me, my mom, and my sister, so I guess she wanted to invite us to her shower? It's surprising but sweet. Other than the bride and her mom, I won't know anyone there except my own mom (my sister can't make it). A gathering of strangers is pretty far out of my comfort zone, plus I'll be wearing a dress (which I normally don't do), but I'm determined to be charming and not awkward, and to have a nice time. So that's what I will be doing well this week.

A nice side effect is that it gives me an excuse to have my hair color touched up and get a pedi, so no complaints there!

That's great! It's really nice that she invited you the family obviously have lovely memories of you. You're really going outside of your comfort zone doing this which is great, plus it's an excuse to treat yourself
