Caitlyn, we adore you! We're so proud to share even the tiniest bit of internet space with a woman who's as bold, daring, and courageous as you. Welcome to the world of women, my dear, and now that you're here, we at AWS have some advice for you.
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!
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?

ElflordMcGeek: Sick of hearing about Bruce..sorry he was born a he NOT a she and GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES..he created him a he NOT a she..but I. Sick of hearing about this..and not a hero..a hero is a veteran or police officer or teacher even..what has he done so heroic..oh and he killed someone a few months ago..why not take responsibility for that..not heroic at all..now I'm done
Vanessa: Yep, to Caitlyn & all the brave souls who follow her footsteps, welcome to a sisterhood of love & bitchiness. As pretty much every message board on this site will show you. Women will pick each other apart just as easily as we hold each other up & support each other. Don't give a shit about anyone else. Just live your life & be free & happy in your life. No one else has to live it but you, so do whatever makes you smile & your soul sing xx
Alyx: @alayna it also says that wearing two types of fabric at once is a sin, and that rapists now "own" their victims, and that altering your hair is a sin(ever dyed your hair or gotten a haircut? I'm guessing so.) . Your religion is your thing. But don't push it onto others. This goes for everyone. Caitlyn Jenner has nothing to do with your religion. Whether or not you accept it is up to you, but don't be a complete ass about it. Let her live her life, and live yours. She doesn't come insult you on things she believes is wrong, so why are you doing it to her?
raqcity: @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.........
raqcity: @jennifer also just to be clear, I'm not saying it's impossible to feel trapped in your own body, I was a huge tomboy growing up and I wanted to be a boy sometimes but as I've grown up I've learned to love myself and my body and I am a lot more comfortable and I would never dream of changing my gender. That's all I'm saying is I just personally don't understand
Alyx: Such judgmental rude comments. I hope caitlyn can finally be happy now, it's been a long struggle but now it's getting better. I am very tired of hearing about her though. There's much more important things in the news than her figuring out how to paint her nails.
Alayna: @shannon fine only one more question Shannon!
Alayna: I forgive you @Shannon it must have been hard for your friend:( i understand what your feeling right now:( I hate bullying:( I am sorry:( I wasn't trying to get on your nerves. will you forgive me?
