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.

I love lifting! If it wasn't for the kids, I'd be a monster by now. Are you really squatting and deading 1.6x bodyweight, that's so cool! Well done! I'm back to almost bodyweight but I keep having setbacks... Just life, ya know. Either way, it's a great way to exercise and great for your bones too.
Yeah, my squats and deadlifts developed in no time flat. It surprised both me and my trainer. (Hence the "sturdy peasant legs" crack.) I could probably have taken it to double but that would have put an unpleasantly unbalanced look and feel to my lower body. My back developed well too, but I hit a wall hard at the chest and it stayed there. I can't break it. :(
Samesles on the balance. I can lift a lot but can't do a pull-up!
Oh, and my SO got terrified with some of the pelvic lifts I was doing. I can now almost casually throw him off me without using my arms. 🙃
Nice!!
