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.

Aside from the one I quit literally the same day I started (and thus didn't actually work there long enough to have a bad experience), it would probably be a summer role as a lifeguard at a public pool in Germany.
Young Asian-looking woman in a swimsuit in the heart of the whitest of the white. Ugh.
Oh God. I recoiled. Jesus.
I'm already sorry for what you had to deal with.
This was in the early '80s too. I was "exotic" then.
Thankfully my father taught me a few things about how to assert myself or I'd have had an even worse time. (For some reason my father knew exactly how men behaved. Funny, that.)
