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.

Oh I forgot about my bout with shingles. It was a really obvious stripe of blisters and redness on my left side at my waist, I diagnosed myself with it instantly (trained as a microbiologist, not just random) and got myself to the urgent treatment centre where I got a prescription for an anti-viral. Was so unforgivingly itchy and heat sensitive. I'm terrified of it coming back.

Badass that you were able to get treatment early though. I am also scared of a second round. What a nightmare that was, lol.
