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 was a mess of a person during my divorce. After 15 years of being forced to stay closeted and having found myself waiting on an ungrateful man in the hopes of some love being returned, I was ravenous for love and attention and fun. And when you're a bisexual woman at the height of your sexual prowess, well, things can get messy.
I started dating a bisexual man and I helped him come out of the closet with a lot of love and acceptance. We had so much fun dating others together and exploring sexually. I also knew deep down that the relationship wasn't going to last a long time - too many issues like knowing he dated other women even though he never found them attractive just because he wanted sex, his lack of care for having safe sex, and his alcoholism to name a few.
My own issues of actively going through a divorce and being emotionally unavailable due to that would also doom the relationship.
It felt terrible to finally break it off with him. We're still in the same friend group and he's spiraled a bit since our breakup. It's always sore when a relationship fizzles out.
