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.

Caroline Herschel's story resonates with me for some reason.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caroline_Herschel
Something about how little was expected or desired of her, but she kept plugging at things and learning, and excelled. She was short and scarred and disabled but damn she found some cool stuff. There are periods in her life when she was just like "i don't want to be here or do this" but she just kept making the best of it.
Holy shit she's amazing! She had a really rough start, but she persevered and achieved what other people can only dream of. Never heard of her thanks for sharing
