wlw/bi woman/febfem circle?
As it stands there's not a space for bisexual women to talk about their love for women - whether they simply happen to be female-partnered at the moment, don't date men for personal reasons, or are female-exclusive for political reasons. It's great there's already a lesbian circle and I'll likely lurk there, but I know a lot of radical women share my circumstances of being bisexual (and therefore not going to participate in lesbian spaces) but prioritizing their love for women.
I know truewlw existed on reddit, though it was rather dead, and it was nice to have that space for all woman-loving women.
This topic is what led to reaching peak trans for me as I slowly but surely realized all of those groups on other sites had been taken over by men. The bleak feeling that caused was incredible. Finally having a space for same sex attraction completely free of men would be so amazing. I'm not lesbian so I of course don't want to intrude on lesbian spaces, so I'm looking forward to what you propose in OP. Here's my vote for wanting it as well.
I came here to say this. Seems a little strange it's missing since there is an o/lesbian. I suppose ideally, they could have married and single too. There is a radfem mothering on reddit that'd be nice to see here too for those who want to talk about child rearing. I am bisexual, but also a spinster who is staying that way.
There is r/ febfems on reddit (which has evaded the ban hammer for now). It is a bit more active than truewlw.
That said, I vote for a febfem community on here as well.
I second this idea. Since /o/Lesbians is a lesbian-only space it only seems fair for bisexuals to have their own. Or at the very least have a LesBi sub where both lesbian and bisexual women can chat.

I agree. I would rather participate in a general wlw board than one that was specifically for bisexual women. I am a woman who is married to another woman but I'm not a kinsey 6. Regardless, my lived experience and the way I navigate throughout the world, and the way others perceive me, has a lot more in common with that of the average lesbian than it does of the average bi women.
