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

It's because societal norms don't teach boys and men the proper way to deal with emotions. It's more implied we will be fine or know how to deal with them, and generally not a lot of room for guys to explore them.

There's also a push for guys to be competitive, achieve, etc. which conditions us to seek more of the positive emotions that come with 'victory'. That thinking quickly can become an echo chamber inside your head, with all kinds of negative things associated with it; the least of which is 'I am worthless unless I achieve'.

The world would be a much better place if guys were in tune with their inner feelings, knew how to deal with them, and weren't terrified of being vulnerable around others. This also applies to women, but from my vantage point, to a lesser degree

Yeah, if you know a anyone that can't just spontaneously cry when they're hurt, that's a major indicator they've been abused. We evolved tear ducts for a reason. Crying let's others see we need comfort. Everyone deserves that.
