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. Any woman-identified person under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is welcome.
- 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 [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.

What does natter mean?
I'm having a hard time right now. I've put myself in time out, and I don't know where to reach to. I feel so frustrated, cornered and stuck. I'm completely out of control of having the space, time, energy to be my own person.
I was traumatized in my early years, through my teen years, and thank to getting caught up in a dv relationship, again in my 20s.
I've a son who has ADHD, ODD, and contuct disorder. You bet, child of the dv. I've done it own my own, we haven't seen my kids father since he was 14months old. Better off, happier, met my dear love 7 years ago. I have my little family and I love all of it. My son loves his stepdad, they bond over a love of baseball, and happy we are together us three.
Cept, see, oppositional defiance disorder, and contuct disorder are not entry level mental health conditions. The last six months have been brutal.
It's his 12 birthday today, his teacher called me, today, why today, with bad news of his behavior this week, and my brother, who I hardly talk to, is .. I think in a nice way, telling me all the awesome things he's doing as a single, with good employment, no kids guy. And ... I just deleted my last two paragraphs talking about the whys. I don't need to explain my truth bare now.
I just feel frustrated, cornered and stuck. My life choices led me here. Tryig my best my whole life and the world around me is so bleak.
