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.

I've always been underweight. In the last 5 years in particular, there have been times when my weight was concerningly low. Times when all I could see was my ribs and hips showing through my skin, and despair about ever reaching and maintaining a healthy weight.
But right now, it's okay. I'm still not in the range I would consider ideal for my height and build, but I noticed recently that I can't even see my collarbone anymore. That's amazing, and right now it's all I see when I look in the mirror. I don't know how long it will last so I'm trying to appreciate the small amount of extra padding while I've got it.
