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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
  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 [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.

Women are trained to not value ourselves, and put ourselves down. What makes you stand out?

Being the only girl in IT class, it makes me stand out when I'm the only one making games at home for fun and presenting them in class to my teacher. My IT teacher was very impressed and even recommended that I go into the gaming industry!

… even recommended that I go into the gaming industry!

Your IT teacher hates you that much!? 😵

Ha Ha Only SeriousJust kidding. Sorta. I have friends who were in the gaming industry. Note the past tense. That's very common. The burnout rate in computer gaming creators is exceptionally high. If it turns out to be your vibe go for it. Some people thrive in that environment. But always keep an eye out for the exit so you don't hurt yourself by what you do.

That's really impressive! I'm lousy with IT so I'm in awe

I'm with you here. Computers and computer-related things (like modern phones) are the bane of my existence. They're banned from most things I do that aren't for work.
