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.

Teach your kid to know their values. Talk about those values. Let them know that some values aren't worth compromising. Let them know that they won't lose friends for being true to themselves. Or if they do, they probably weren't good friends anyway. Don't only show how you do that in life, talk about it. I think a lot of parents do the "lead by example" and expect their kids to figure it out. They usually do, eventually. I was an adult before I really understood a lot of the values my parents were trying to instill in me. I tried to keep that in mind when raising my son, and as far as I know he never got in trouble or made shitty decisions because of peer pressure. Not that he never made shitty decisions, but he's grown up to be a pretty good person.

By "values" I mean things like keeping your word. Backing friends to your own self-sacrifice. And the obvious, hard work, taking the time to do it right, etc.

Those are great values! I'm a big believer in backing your friends to your own self sacrifice
