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.

That I don't have enough curves in the right places yet I can't manage to put more weight on. That I'll never be seen correctly for who I am due to my unfortunate bone structure.. I do have upcoming ffs so maybe that will change, but I remain pretty hopeless whenever there are mirrors around.

That's really rough mate, your bone structure is unfortunate and it stops people seeing you correctly. I understand the hopelessness... what would help you accept your body?

Honestly probably being accepted in more irl women's circles (I'm just rejected from all currently). Here in the US South that isn't really a possibility without passing unfortunately. A few years of hrt hasn't been sufficient in overcoming my bone structure, so I can't really see myself correctly most of the time...I can't really blame anyone for constantly misgendering me. I'm a they/she sort of trans enby but I just default to neutral pronouns because of it...and people still don't even acknowledge those. Being alive just hurts most of the time and I'm not sure that will ever change.
