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.

That sounds lovely. I've never tried any Chinese liquors, but I have enjoyed sake on the occasions I've tried it. Its probably mostly convenience. Its much easier to find good wine bars and wineries where I tend to be.
Well as the old saying goes: if you've tried a Chinese liquor, you've tried ... ah ... that specific ... Chinese liquor.
It's crazy how much diversity there is here. I mean there's 12 official styles of baijiu alone. And that doesn't even begin to rein in the craziness of classification. Thousands of years of booze culture with a society that is VERY strict on tradition leads to fractal complexity.
(Irrelevant side note: I brought a dear friend in Canada some "Luzhou" style—more properly termed "strong scented" in modern classification, but this was from Luzhou proper—hooch. This friend, like me, has a long history of trying different liquors from different places and has an equally broad palate as a result, but by virtue of my location I have access to stuff he's never heard of. His description of the Luzhou style stuff was "it tastes exactly like I would imagine diesel would taste like if diesel tasted really good".)
I'm going to try some... specific... Chinese liquors some day. I always enjoy trying new things!
