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 Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I feel like an oddball saying it this way, but currently highly emotional? I don't really know if this is what's always been beneath the surface, or if it's the fact that I finally feel "allowed" to actually experience my emotions and the years of repression have just left them feeling more ready to come out and feel more intense.
That's a big question... it could even be both. How hard is it to regulated them?
Normally not very, thankfully. It's moreso the suddenness, like movies I've seen so many times and now there's a scene that'll bring the tears, or I'll catch myself thinking on something and I feel more aware of my emotions.
Sometimes it almost feels like trying to catch up on 30 years of just locking it all away.
Kinda scared of what hormones are going to bring, once I can finally start them. Mascara is going to be the enemy for a bit.
I reckon you're right, you've locked it away for so long it's now getting out however it can. Well done for getting to this point
