Women are often taught assertive means bitch and/or unhinged. How easy do you find being assertive? Has this changed through your life?

I used to be timid and never spoke up. Never defended myself.

Now, realizing how much I've been used over the years, I've lost my tact and have no trouble making myself heard. I'm worth defending.

Love that! "We're worth defending" should be this groups official motto

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 Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
