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?

My beliefs are my own. I don't feel the need to vomit them at everyone. I take the good bits from the bible, you know the "Clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness & patience" or "Be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you" or how about "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out". See I like the nice kind bits not the nasty judgemental stuff that seems to go against everything I learnt about God being loving & forgiving. Pity so many of his loudest supporters can't be more loving & forgiving.

@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.

@renita so women who can't have children aren't women? Or those who have had their uterus removed and don't get periods? That's really how you define a woman? Because in your logic millions of women are not "real women".

@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.

Is this some sort of a joke that is a man right there and how ever much he wears bras does he hair or whatever he will never experience what it is to be a woman and I thought being yourself is just accepting yourself as the human being wee born to with all the foibles trials and tribulations so like I said let's call a spade a spade .what is this worshipping of this man who can't be pleased with being a man

Wow. Reading all of this I feel so embarrassed! Everybody has their own opinions and you're not going to change someone else's mind no matter how much you try to prove your point. Goodness! Jennifer was just doing her job writing and it turned into such a hateful mess, come on ladies. I'm not going to share what I think of CJ, good article either way. Prayers and love to all of you beautiful women! 💕
