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.

Many of those seem quite extreme to me...
That’s very true. They also don’t seem very extreme when you’re inside of the abusive relationship. A lot of these get normalized.
I'm sorry you were in that situation and congrats on getting out!
That was a really responsible counselor. It's very dangerous to attend therapy or counseling with abusive partners because they end up learning new ways of manipulating their victims.
I only started to realize the situation I was in after I had my kid. Having the perspective of seeing how I was treated through their eyes helped me finally leave. I've never been happier :)
It gets worse :( this is why us older ladies try to warn the younger ones so hard. Though it really applies to both genders
They don't start that bad in the beginning. It ramps up gradually.
