Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.
Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.
A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.
Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

While I get what you're saying, it's not a cast-iron rule.
Last week I told off one of my trainees for running in the building, and yet I split up with my ex because she moved to a different city to start her own business ... both of them are 24.
How was the experience of being in a relationship with someone exactly half your age? Asking from a place of genuine curiosity not judgement. Sounds the ex moved through life with more maturity than the trainee?
So, I can't imagine dating someone with the maturity of my trainee - and that's not a boy thing either, since our new intern is a girl of 21 who isn't very mature either.
Meanwhile, my ex had moved away from home young, lived and worked on her own in another city, and completed teacher training in yet another city. When I met her she was living back with her parents (and as is typical of many families here, her sister, nephew, and brother-in-law too), and she already had a plan for starting her business.
We met very randomly through a mutual friend, and clicked right from the start in a talking all night kind of way. For the most part it was like dating anyone, except that she'd occasionally mention something jarring that reminded me of the age difference.
A couple of times I caught myself saying something to her that was like a mother would say to a daughter, but it didn't hurt the relationship because she specifically wanted a 'dommy mommy' thing in the bedroom.
It wouldn't have worked in the long term, the power imbalance would have got out of hand, but I very much love her, and if she turned up on my doorstep today I wouldn't hesitate to have her back.
The only weird part of it was interacting with her father, who is younger than me (though neither of us told him that!)
Thank you for sharing! That's interesting; wow yeah I could only imagine being older than a parent. Glad to hear that it was a happy and healthy sounding relationship, hopefully you can make another beautiful connection. :)
I hope you find beautiful connections in the future, too :-)
Edit:
How weird is it to be 45 and feel like you're 30 until you talk to someone who's actually 30 and suddenly you feel ๐ซฉ
I'm 48
I feel 84
Time to get yourself in shape, then

When I was 19, a coworker told me she thought I was 30 with 2 kids.
That's equally just because when working with adults after education, I feel like we all become so blind to age.
It's kinda accurate as we're all on different life paths, one colleague may be 19 with two kids, another may be 30 and their life revolves around Minecraft. Either is fine of course, but I just start seeing all colleges as a nebulous colleague age.
i have the opposite issue,,, im turning 22 and have gotten told i look "young for 18" ...like they thought i was 18 and still thought i looked like a minor TwT
But what if you don't? And they are the ones shocked?
Yeah I get this more often. People routinely guess I'm 15 years younger than I am.
Same but not 15 years more like 5-10
I'm probably a lot older than you
Yeah what's your skincare routine like?
I have stayed out of the sun/worn hats/worn face wraps as much as I could my whole adult life.
I also inject estradiol subQ once a week.
I don't know I don't always have this feeling. Maybe haven't grown up much or can relate enough for a few things not to be 100% disconnected.
This feeling can happen if I talk about older cartoons/games or stuff like VHS, audio tape (maybe).
The WII is soon 20 years old (just letting that sink :3)
Completely normal, can confirm
So true.
