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 can't find anyone to work out with me. A friend was going to the pool with me last year but she quit. I have limited access to a car (the only transportation in my town), and so a basically quit with her. I really liked it though.
My son quit liking hiking, and now im so out of shape i don't even think I can jump back into it like i could when i was 25. My husband is tall and thin, and hates to work out. I hate walking and stuff alone. Unless I'm riding my bike somewhere, but i dont have access to that lifestyle anymore.
I just left TJ maxx, I'm about to be in tears right here in the parking lot. Their mirrors i swear are meant to make you look ugly. I feel disgusting and fat. No where sells plus size clothing and I just feel like a big, short, round ball of poor loser. I miss having a larger range if fashion choices. Im having a bad hair day, and
.. I'll work out with you .. 😓
Those mirrors today fucking hit me too hard
No but you're legit on to something, because I really think that there are some mirrors that are meant to make you look bad. There was this store in the mall (which closed actually, I bet this was part of why) where any time I put on something to try it, I'll tell you, I'd for sure leave without buying anything! I actually buy a lot of stuff from torrid online but I recognize that's a privilege.
I am over 300 pounds. I am all sympathy. Hell, I'm not even down on myself! Feeling shame and disgust isn't productive, and doesn't accomplish anything, and doesn't help anyone, and makes us less capable of helping others. But yeah, I wish there was like a way to connect with other women who just wanted to like... get healthier. The last time I tried joining fitness Discord channels from Disboard I did an introduction and immediately got 3 creeper DMs from fat chasing dudes! (So don't feel ugly, because men will like anything.)
