o/Lesbians is a space for lesbians to connect, thrive, and build a genuine lesbian community. We define lesbianism as homosexuality; a woman’s exclusive same-sex attraction to other women. Participation by non-lesbians in this circle is not allowed.
Along with our rules, we enforce the sitewide rules and guidelines.
-
No participation by people who are not both female and exclusively same sex attracted. Users in violation will be banned. This includes posting, commenting, and voting.
-
Assume good faith. Please refrain from being preemptively belligerent or defensive.
-
No attacks, insults, or reciprocation. If you are attacked by another user, use the report button instead of reciprocating. If you reciprocate, you will also be in violation of this rule.
-
No slurs or pejoratives. The words 'cis' or 'cisgender' used to refer to other women are considered slurs. Name calling, ad hominem attacks, and other language used specifically to target another user will also not be tolerated.
-
No bullying/ganging up on people. If the content is rule-breaking, report it instead of piling on.
-
Refrain from overgeneralizing your own experience onto others, or implying that what was true for you is necessarily true for all lesbians.
-
No criticism of sexual boundaries or relationship boundaries.
-
No content questioning one's lesbian orientation. Posts like 'When did you know?' are okay, but posts like 'What am I?' are not. We cannot tell you what you are. Similarly, refrain from unfounded speculation regarding the sex lives and sexuality of other women.
-
Gender-critical or trans-critical content lacking a lesbian focus will be removed.
-
No derailing or hijacking. This refers to posting a comment that is unrelated to the topic of the post, which often kills the original discussion.
-
No pornography. NSFW posts must be marked as such.
-
No selfies or other sharing of personal identifying information; no spam; and no self-promotion.
-
No using the exclusivity of the circle in bad faith towards/about the rest of the site, its content, or other users, who cannot respond if they've been misunderstood or misrepresented.

LOL. I love that analogy! Its so apt now that the awful Drag Race show is popular and these dudes are becoming millionaires simply by putting on a dress and some Tammy Faye makeup
Drag was tolerable back when it was a gay male subculture and you had to actively seek it out if you wanted to see it. But I'm growing to hate it more and more now that its literally being shoved in everyone's faces (and woke assholes think its a brave act of resistance to make children interact with these Sex Clowns)
Agree. My local library hosted a drag show for children’s story time and my local coffee shop had one too. I had fun at drag shows in my youth but I would never take a young child to one or consider it to be a worthy act. And I’m not homophobic or remotely conservative.
I've been bisexual since before I knew it was possible and a hippie pinko liberal since I was old enough to have politics, and the most positive I've felt about drag has been politely feigned interest because my friends were into it. Then I realized that women are allowed to have dignity and drag is misogyny, and my opinion has taken a definite nosedive.
was there an epiphany-triggering single event or experience that made you "realize that Women are allowed to have dignity" at whatever point?
Not all at once, but exiting a relationship with a true male degenerate and deprogramming myself from it was the process that led to it.
Thank you for sharing 🥰 and congratulations on "leveling up" in the game of life!
Thanks. The realization is its own reward, but the recognition is nice as well.
SEX CLOWNS!!! Lololol. That is the perfect way to describe them. That's all I'm gonna call them now. Oh god
there was even a drag queen on rupaul's drag race (who was later exposed as a predator to an underage girl, and exposed as a racist, but anyone who had watched their season could realise they were) who had a tattoo of tammy faye! i cringe how much i liked drag as a libfem and how much i know about it now lol
You're absolutely right. I think for many gay men who were always shamed for doing "feminine" things, drag was very subversive and, dare I say, empowering. But only in a specific context that you mentioned. The kind of drag that is "female impersonation" needs to be left behind in 2023.
It does NOT work on national television. RuPaul is first and foremost a capitalist, and he has no qualms saying so. He will do whatever it takes to make more money. The result is branding drag queens as modern superheroes who are changing the world for the better. This branding makes his TV show better and makes him more money. I don't even think he believes it.
Trying to watch Drag Race today is even more insufferable than ever because, atop of the womanface, the contestants are so narcissistic. They speak as though they're the most important people in the world who are single-handedly saving lives by putting on wigs and makeup.
I think you hit on why Drag Race bros are so insufferable. They act as if they're modern day MLK Jrs fighting against oppression. Old school drag may have been just as sexist as modern drag. But at least old school drag performers were just having fun and didn't claim that putting on a beehive wig made them civil rights heroes
That's why I do have a soft spot for some of the older queens, like Tyra Sanchez (now changed his name to "King Tyra") who won season 2 of Drag Race. He said this
