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.

In my late 20s, my metabolism has left the building, and I got my first and hopefully only vericose vein.

I still work at the entry-level job I got out of college where my wages are starting not to cut it, and I haven't gotten a raise in three years. Also starting to think about how I'll retire and whether I'll ever own a home.

It's a bit harder to make friends now, and my existing social circles are starting to drift apart as people move, get married, or have kids.

I'm noticing that I haven't completed nearly as many of the personal aspirations I thought I would have marked off by now.

Wait'll you reach almost-60. My "future bingo card" has barely had any boxes marked at all.
