An alternate to lesbian connection

TV and MediaAn alternate to lesbian connection

Posted February 13, 2025 by HoneycreeperBird Lesbian in Lesbians

I just came across a new physical publication that is a zine that works similar to LC, in that it works on submissions from its readers. The main perk is that this magazine is exclusively female. It has an explanation on its website that the magazine’s “intention is not to exclude unfairly, it is most definitely our intent to reclaim at least one literary space exclusively for women, recognizing that many online, in print and real life spaces already exist for "intramural" exploration”.

Its main focus is towards lesbians, which I like, but it seems that it’s also open to straight and bisexual women whom they term our “female allies”. It seems that we really can’t find a literary magazine solely for us lesbians without some outward interference, or even lesbian spaces online it seems (the L Community online apparently is open to bisexuals despite advertising it having a lesbian focus). The options then, are dealing with trans shit invading Lesbian Connection, or this new magazine that is radically feminist but allows a space for non-lesbian women to engage with (and also is not free). It seems the only section in the zine for straight and bisexual women to engage with is the health section.

Thoughts?

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.
