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.

A lot of it is just purile men being 'funny' and not realising how much it can hurt people. However it is a real thing for some people but TMAU isn't the main reason why smells like that can be common. Most of the time it would be bacterial vaginosis which, can be caused by being overzealous with hygiene, affecting the natural flora balance and resulting in an establishment of bacteria that produce trymethylamine.
Its cruel because people think that the cause is poor hygiene and further over-attention just causes it to persist when it actually needs treatment with antibiotics etc.
And I think they're finally acknowledged that bv is a sexual transmitted infection.
