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.

From a virus? I used to work retail and I would get head colds very often. Sometimes they hit me like a ton of bricks. This was pre-Covid and I used to go to work like that, it is so gross to me now, but I also desperately needed the paycheck. My first round of Covid was pretty bad too, I was really sick and the virus gives me hives.
From a non-virus? When I spent 9 months waiting to see if my kidney could bounce back after a really bad injury. It didn’t get better. I had to have it removed because it was making me horribly sick, I couldn’t eat anything without feeling nauseous, and it was essentially poisoning my body. I dropped so much weight that my friends started commenting and I would force myself to eat multiple veggie and fruit smoothies, just sips here and there all day long if I had to, just so I could get some nutrients.
