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.

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.)
