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. 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.
- 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 [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.

Cool, I'd go for Day of the Triffids its one of the original sci fi dystopian. America Dark is on kindle unlimited, quick read and page turner, several good sequels m. Lockdown is great but around the 3rd book gets silly.
I saw Speak No Evil recently it was BRILLIANT. The acting is world class and it's a slow burn with a big pay out.
On films, what was your favourite Disney film as a kid?
Thanks for the recommendations. I have heard of the Day of the triffids, will check it out at some point. I really like old school sci-fi, and the topics they explore. The Illustrated Man is a really good one.
I saw Mickey 17. It was a fun film, similar in essence to the directors other films.
Not really a Disney kid, I did have Pocahontas picture book even though I hadn't seen the film. So that.
But how about series, which ones do you recommend? Maybe you know some more obscure ones to fill the time?
I'm really into the Great North and Abbot Elementary they're both feel good sitcoms. I'm in the UK and they're pretty much unheard of here don't know what other countries are like with them!
What are you watching on telly arm?
The usual, Last of Us and White Lotus and Black Mirror. Then I started watching Station Eleven. I really like dystopian series. These aren't on telly tho, just streaming on the web.
Where do you get your news?
I loooooovveee dystopian stuff! Station eleven is one of my all time favourite books.
News is difficult it's all such bullshit and clickbait now. I tend to look at left and right social media news groups as they cover various media sources. It's a nightmare though... 😫
Have you ever played a musical instrument?
I have never played a musical instrument. Did sing in a choir for a lil bit.
Can you recommend any good podcasts? Always looking to add to my roster.
Yes, You're Wrong About, Behind the Bastards Time Suck with Dan Cummins and Celebrity Memoir Book Club. I really liked the you're wrong about episodes on Princess Di.
Would you rather have sweet or savoury?
Depends on the mood.. but I'm up for salty caramel anytime, anywhere.
What is your favourite flower, or plant if you prefer?
Chrysanthemums! I love the jagged petals they're so pretty.
How spicy can you have your food?
Well, spicy enough, not Korean level tho. So more than most.
What is your favourite biscuit?
Thats good going! Biscuit wise is all of them an option? If not, I'm gonna go with chocolate chip cookie or plain chocolate digestive.
If you were gonna play a board game what would you choose?
Hmm.. board game.. you mean social one or more strategic? I guess strategic games can get boring, if not everyone is not 100% into it. So What do you meme or Cards against humanity are good, but they get boring after the first time.
But what about you? Into board games, which ones?
I've always liked trivial pursuit! Never been any good at it though.
Do you do any crafts?
Yeah, sewing (sometimes). I've made scrunchies (much better for hair), a sleeping mask, pillowcases, hemmed the occasional pants, and made skirts shorter.
Is there a habit that you have recently picked up and what made you do it?
