1. It's Okay to Be You

Well, duh - this is a lesson you've obviously already learned! But what I mean, specifically, is that sometimes, it's okay to just be you, make-up free, hair in a messy bun, comfy clothes and all. Sure, you don't ever have to do it, but if you want to, it's totes okay.

2. We're All Your Sisters

There are plenty of haters out there (see below) - but we can't be listed among them. One of the great things about being a woman is that you automatically belong to a sisterhood... that creepy guy at the bar won't leave you alone? We've got your back.

3. Embrace the Chick Flick

There are so many good ones! Start at the beginning (Terms of Endearment or All About Eve) and work your way up.

4. The Bra Trick

If you haven't already experienced the joy of removing your bra without taking your shirt off, then flinging it across the room, learn it. Now. It's awesome!

Embrace the vibrant colors and cozy vibes of the upcoming season with your loved ones. Planning for some memorable fall family photos is a unique way to capture the warmth and love amidst the breathtaking autumnal hues. Trust me, these keepsakes would be beyond beautiful.

5. Eventually, Heels Will Kill You

OMG, they're the worst! Sure, they look amazing, but after a decade or so, you'll want to wear flats sometimes. Do it!

6. Ignore the Haters

Even if you'd started life in the body you have now, you'd have been the object of haters telling you your worth was all about your looks, but careful! Can't be too sexy! Or thin! Or fat! Or any number of other things the patriarchy and society will use to scrutinize you. Ignore them! They know nothing.

7. On Wednesdays, We Wear Pink

Just kidding!

I'm sure there are so many other bits of advice our readers would love to share... ladies?

@Neecey now I'm the bad guy? So typical of the women on this app I'll stop but not because you asked me to . Question where were you in my defense when a post on if women should be or not be a stay at home mom and I was attacked. It's the USA I can say what I want . As do the KKK and anyone else I won't be bullied by you or anyone on here !!!

@Alyx those specific rules were changed when Jesus died for our sins:( and I am not trying to push my religion onto other people! I am simply trying to help them define what really is right and wrong.

@liza totally agree. But at the same time, we don't need to constantly hear about her life. Not about things that are being advertised. I literally saw an article on my fb about how she's struggling to paint her nails. If she was doing events or talking about what it's really like to be trans, and raising awareness or debunking people's assumptions, then I would be all for it. But as far as that goes, Miley Cyrus is doing a better job at raising awareness and educating people about trans, genderfluid and agendered people. Caitlyn hasn't done any awareness or education on it, she's just got another reality show so that she's not taking over the kardashians show. I don't watch that kind of TV, so I don't know if she does on the show, but she certainly isn't doing a lot. She's brave and it's amazing that she's been able to finally be herself, but she has such power and such a large number of people who follow her, that she could easily educate tons without a lot of effort.

@jennifer ok well I'm just saying that I think people should accept the way they are. To me that's like saying that if a black person thinks they are white born in black skin it would be ok for them to bleach their skin if they went through intensive therapy. And I feel like there would be outrage if ppl did that. I'm not saying that certain gender roles and identities aren't hard to live by but I also feel like everyone struggles with that to a certain extent. I personally don't understand the notion of someone feeling like they are trapped in the wrong body, I feel like that is more of a mental conflict, but I don't mean to trivialize it as a mental disorder or anything, I just don't understand. But like I said everyone is free to live the way they want to.

@shannon ok you clearly didn't read a word I read. What the heck are you talking about. I said that people should be comfortable in their own skin and they can be free to live however they want to. And also I'm black and I don't go to church. So.........
