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…

  1. 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.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Ahhh I don't know if you'll like the stuff I read sorry. Might be best doing a full post about it so you get a range of ideas

I like a pretty broad range, tbh - it's hard to predict what I'll like or capture my interests.

I guess I mostly enjoy:

  • horror (e.g. House of Leaves, Tender is the Flesh)
  • sci fi (Asimov, Ted Chiang, Octavia Butler),
  • cozy reads (All Creatures Great and Small, The House in the Cerulean Sea),
  • literature ...

Trying to rack my brain I'm realizing I haven't really read much fiction until recently, I usually just read non-fiction books on a topic I'm obsessing over. A lot of the fiction I have read in the past tends to have some kind of connection to something important to me. I often feel guilty when I read fiction, like I'm wasting my time or being indulgent.

All that said, I'm pretty open and want to try new things, so I'd be happy with just trying out what you like to read and seeing how it goes.
