Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.
Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.
A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.
Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

Actually, alcohol is no longer recommended for direct use on wounds. It can damage the surrounding healthy tissue, cause the area to experience excessive dryness, and increase the recovery time of the wound. The best way to clean a wound is to use warm soapy water or saline to flush the wound out.
Funnily enough, this also follows the same route as drinking alcohol. Alcohol used to be recommended as a remedy to illness (typically as some form of tonic), but our modern understanding suggests it is harmful in that regard, as we also now understand for its use in wound care (though the difference is that rubbing alcohol is technically better than doing nothing as it does lower risk of infection, but washing with warm soapy water is much better).
we are trained in first aid and give a +1 to that!!! plus its very very pain and ouchie
alcohols are funny. when describing what they are chemically and their toxicity, the question of "what about drinking alcohol" always comes up, and it is fun explaining how ethanol is toxic as well! intriguingly, in the NFPA 704 classification system (basically those little yellow, blue, and red "hazard" or "fire" diamonds), ethanol is classed as more toxic than even stuff like acetone, which has a generally more "chemical-like" reputation, or some other alcohols like isopropanol, a.k.a. rubbing alcohol.
of course, these classifications have their limits. while the general toxicity may be lower, acetone is NOT fun if you drink it. off the shelf isopropanol can also have many other far more hazardous substances contained in it. drinking alcohol still absolutely is toxic too!
the normalization of it in society has always been super interesting to us in general. we don't really object to it, but the habitious consumption of a de-facto toxic substance fascinates us greatly, even when done so in a minimally hazardous manner.
tangents aside, thank you for bringing that up :)
Love this reply! It also fascinates me why alcohol consumption is so normalized. I personally choose not to drink it, even when going out to bars, and I don't like the effect that it can have on people. Granted, much of my socialization comes from gay bars, so I'm around drunk people quite often. It's so strange to me that it's so normalized when it has such a strong negative effect on people and is responsible for so much violence and death. Granted, I used to drink, I used to do other things, so I understand that it often serves as an escape, but I've found that it really isn't a good or healthy way to manage your emotions, and I really don't think it should be praised the way it is in society.
