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.

This is great especially for bedridden or disabled patients who are unable to exercise, but for most of us it's probably a good idea to 1. start HRT as you enter menopause (low estrogen makes you susceptible to osteoporosis), and 2. add strength training to get the exercise that helps keep your bones strong.
Think of what a great privilege it is to be able to exercise and stay healthy, and how it will keep you from losing that privilege (as a fracture can lead to future disability that makes exercise difficult or impossible).
Personally I like to make bread from scratch and I knead by hand instead of using a machine mixer. I always like to think how it helps my bones to do this.
It would also help people who can't take HRT, or who are on aromatase inhibitors after having a hormone receptor positive type of cancer.
