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.

I had surgery a year ago to fix a torn labrum in my right hip, plus shave down a bone deformity. There was a significant chance that the surgery might not work - statistically the probability of success goes down the older you are, and I'm in my forties. Anyway I had the one-year follow-up with my surgeon today and he's super happy with how I'm doing. I've noticed a significant decrease in pain and an improvement in functionality, and he says that bodes well for my long-term success. And he said I can increase my weightlifting more aggressively than I have been (I've been a little paranoid about hurting my hip), which was great to hear!
That's fantastic news! Surgery is a big thing, it's scary and there's risks. You were taking a gamble with yours which means you could go through it all for nothing. It's been a long year, but the official medical opinion is you're doing great! Well done I'm so pleased for you 😀
