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.

I’m really interested in people’s motivations. Whatever they are, even if just financial.

Maternal instincts make me want to have kids I guess, but I want to be a positive influence and figure in others' lives. If I could help a child grow up well, I would be very happy.

Since my girlfriend and I can't have biological children, I've been looking into becoming foster parents. I think that's still a few years away from doing it seriously since we would want to move to a more stable place (i.e. not renting)
