Women’s Sports Season is upon us

TV and MediaWomen’s Sports Season is upon us

Posted March 5, 2025 by HoneycreeperBird Lesbian in Lesbians

Women’s sports are championed by lesbian athletes. There are many reasons for this, and I believe it is primarily because sport is a great escape from societal norms on women. Here women are tough, bold, aggressive, and strategic playmakers. She knows how to use her body to her advantage, whether she is 5’11 or 5’2. She is part of a team, something bigger than her, something she can lead an impact towards a common goal.

Below are leagues that are coming into their 2025 season who have out lesbians playing:

-National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL)- pre-season ends with the Challenge Cup, a one game tournament for bragging rights and a trophy on March 7th, 8pm EST on Prime Video. Reigning 2024 champions Orlando Pride host a championship rematch with Washington Spirit. The official season opener also opens with the Pride in Orlando, March 14th against the Chicago Red Stars.

-Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL)- admittedly, I don’t watch hockey, so I didn’t know their season already started. Nonetheless, there’s games on all this week.

-Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA)- First of all, congrats to Diana Taurasi on retiring. I hope she can do more funny broadcast commentary with Sue in the future. Preseason games start May 2nd, and the official season starts May 16th with the Washington Mystics hosting the Atlanta Dream. WNBA

Awesome! Wishing you all the best with your new career path. Fellow math lover here :)

When I went to college (for computer science), I knew coming in I was going to have to work extra hard to catch up with the other students (most at my university came from fancy private schools while I went to a pretty mediocre public high school). I made myself a promise to not ever compare myself with anyone else and instead just set achievable standards and goals for myself. I never ever asked other people what grades they got, and declined to answer when people asked me.

I tried to embody the quote from the dancer baryshnikov: “I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.” I felt it did wonders for me because I was very focused on what I can do to achieve my goals instead of worrying about competing with classmates or feeling like I didn’t measure up. This helped me to hone my studying techniques and feel proud when I met my goals.

I am not sure if this is related or not, but I very rarely felt imposter syndrome, and when I did it was just fleeting and I quickly shut it down. I try to remember that errant self-deprecating thoughts are just thoughts and my own perceptions, which are not necessarily a reflection of reality. It’s good to remind yourself of that when you’re experiencing some negative thoughts, it helps put the trustworthiness of the thought into question.

Anyways, I hope that helped a little and I am sure you will do great! The fact that you had the courage to change your path is already a great start. Rooting for you!

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.
