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 had a really good friend in middle school who told me they had a crush on someone else, and I realized I had feelings when I felt sad about that. We were both music nerds and pretty inseparable at school. During summer vacation, we'd have these slumber parties where we played Pokemon and Maplestory together. We both realized we were bi around the same time, so it was nice to have another person to confide in about that, but we were only ever friends, and that was okay as I got over my crush pretty quick after realizing it wasn't reciprocated.
We eventually fell out of touch after high school and I found out a decade later she transitioned too, which wasn't at all surprising. Sometimes I wonder if I'm actually bi, because the only "boy" who isn't a fictional character I ever had romantic feelings for was a girl the entire time lol. But I still remember those days and hope life's treating her okay.
