QuestionDo you see the invention of Limerence as a attack against same-sex affection?

Hi. Strangely the word 'Limerence' became popular in the last years. It's spread on preddit and psychologytoday but has a older history.

Because the word is connected to Psychology (a patriarchal ideology),

What if it's another way to irritate same-sex attraction - Now therapists ask: Are you lesbian/same-sex attracted or limerent? (limerent = OCD = mental problem you need to work on)

I was disappointed to see the period underwear brand Modibodi having a section on their page for "trans girls" - just the sheer extortion of suggesting a biological boy buy their expensive underwear just to pretend-menstruate once a month.

And yet (happy to be corrected) I don't think there's a special page for "trans boys" - most of whom actually need period products.

They do have a men's section for "men" that mentions "period peace" in the product description, and they have an "all genders" section that doesn't have any products list (haha). Where are you seeing a section for transwomen?

I think they may have changed the pages on their site - it was on the Australian site - and I recall it being in one of the FAQs.

Google throws up this link - but the content has disappeared: https://www.modibodi.com/collections/all-gender (for "all gender" clothing)

And then here's some nonsense on a blog about biological males getting periods: https://www.modibodi.com/blogs/womens/transwomen-period - it has "tips" which include wearing period underwear, even though that page itself acknowledges that "some trans women don’t have uteruses" so won't bleed.

(I'd like to know what trans women do have uteruses, for what it's worth).

"some trans women don’t have uteruses"

I'm guessing some dumbass at that company has bought into the TRA lies about uterus implants for women already having been done for TIMs.

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.
