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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
- 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.

I used to work as bar/waiting staff in a hotel, it was long, hard, exhausting hours and you literally didn't get to sit down more than the odd minute here and there. We'd end up leaning on walls when we could to try to get some rest! It was shit pay, we weren't allowed tips and the manager was a bully. He used to take great delight in tearing us apart in front of other people. Customers would often speak to you like a piece of shit and you just had to take it.
The only plus was some really nice colleagues.
Closest I've ever come to waiting was a 7-11 clerk. It had its stressful moments, but most of the time, in the overnight shifts I got, the work was relatively light (outside of some restocking) and I could read.
