Welcome to the refugees from r/lesbiangang!

Posted February 14, 2024 by stern-as-steel in Lesbians

Welcome to all the lesbians who are new to Ovarit! There are already some newcomers here and I’m sure there will be more continuing to trickle in over the next few days now that r/lesbiangang is restricted.

Do familiarize yourself with the rules in the sidebar - I hope they should all be self-explanatory. Needless to say, you will not be banned for saying that lesbians don’t do dick - even when surgically inverted!

If you are bi or just also want to take part in a broader space, o/LovingWomen is a circle for all same-sex attracted women.

Feel free to introduce yourself here!

The amount of lesbian subreddits I keep getting banned from and not even for saying much of anything (most recent was because I said that other white sapphics don't listen or support lesbian/bi women of colour music artists.... that one was defs a sensitive white male mod I'm sure)

Thanks! and yeah, it was a pretty popular reply (hit like 275 upvotes with multiple agreeing comments before it got removed). It's also kind of funny because I'm also white, I just happen to have eyes and can see that what's "popular" in today's lesbian circles is very white oriented, and artists like Kehlani (who I was referring to in my original post) are not often included, despite being pretty popular (hell, she had a guest role on the new L Word show!).

So it is what it is; I'm glad to see here is pretty relaxed about open discussions even if there are some slight disagreements!

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.
