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.

Buying anything from Amazon. I canceled my Amazon prime over 20 years ago.

I was a heavy Amazon user. It was $60 for the year and when they changed the pantry from anything that fits into the box with free shipping to not free shipping i decided it’s time to quit.

Also, when I heard that the warehouse inventory is all co-mingled, so even if you buy your skin care and vitamins from the “official” retailer store there’s no guarantee that you’ll get a genuine product. I vowed to never buy anything from amazon that I would consume or put on my body. Even cleaning products, I’ve received fraudulent products. Once you know what to look for, it’s quite easy to spot.

I buy from Amazon maybe once a year. And it’s typically only for something I can’t find elsewhere. Like a specific gift a friend or family sends a link for.
