Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.
Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.
A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.
Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

My take: Pretty much all clothing is outrageously cheap. Temu etc are just doubly so.
We all own pretty crazy amounts of clothing, and don't even think about how excessive that is because it costs us barely anything.
Yeah, hearing stats about the average amount of times an article of clothing is worn in the west (which is somewhere between 7 and 10 times) is insane to me. I usually wear things until the fabric is too tired and fragile to be patched up, which is typically hundreds of times and many dozens of washes. My favorite pair of trousers has been going strong for definitely more than a thousand days of intense use, including hiking and other sports; they are close to giving up but still not quite there yet.
The mindset of buying clothes (or boots) to wear them less than a hundred times before discarding is just beyond me, and I'm way above the poverty line. From what I hear there are people who never wash some of their clothing categories (e.g. underwear), just throwing them out when they get dirty, and it drives me mad.
Like, some poor person was paid $2 per day or so to saw this in the heat of SE Asian summer, then it was shipped half way across the planet to you, and you throw all this effort away because "it's out of fashion" or "it has a small hole in it"? Really?
Lol, I wear my jeans 7 to 10 times before I wash them...
same pair all week :stinky:
I wear a uniform to work & I'm out of it within 5 minutes of walking in the door when I get home. The jeans are only there for if I have to leave the house, and usually don't stay on more than an hour or two. Twelve or so hours of wear seems like a normal amount before washing.
