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?

@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".

@Vanessa if only you knew how much God loves you:( and yet you keep telling yourself he's not real, when in reality you know he is

To clarify - I said "he" because at the time, he was not caitlyn yet.

@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.
