Great site.

[Imnobody4]

Excellent site - about time.

[GoldenBlue]

Great site, factual and informative

[HighFemme]

Great website, off I go to check out some of the links to new lesbian groups and meet-ups

[PurpleHoodie]

Fantastic

I hope they've seen the wonderful young, Lesbian women at French Pride today.

I hope they have mature women and men shielding them, and supporting them, from future emotional, online, legal and physical attacks: Because anyone doing that would be lesphobic, homophobic, incel, sexist, racist, rapey, rape apologist scum.

Great stuff, good luck to them. Refreshing to see the word 'lesbian' used for a change.

That's a brilliant site. All girls should be directed towards it to learn what female body positivity and sexual pleasure is.

Heterosexual or bisexual boys should read it too, for the same reasons.

[MrsOvertonsWindow]

What a fab site. Well done those woman - finally somewhere to direct young women to rather than the gaslighting resources currently available to them.

Oooh I did enjoy that. An online space for young lesbians away from the gender fuckwittery.

Yes, that was a joy to see. The website is good news too. Women together are strong.

[FemaleAndLearning]

Thanks for sharing. I'll take a look for the young person in my life who is a lesbian. Glad to hear it is for lesbians- same sex attracted and there is no gender identity ideology.

[PickAChew]

This is a great site. Hope it gets the exposure it needs.

[bonbonours]

Thanks for sharing this. I need to persuade my daughter to read it.....

[PurpleHoodie]

There is a growing grassroots Lesbian only community once again.

Good to see it.

[FloralBunting]

God, that's so fucking wonderful I could cry.

[bonbonours]

Unfortunately my supposedly"trans" daughter dismissed this site out of hand as TERF nonsense.😣
I've sent it to my younger daughter in the hope it's not too late to get a message through to her.

Sorry to hear that bonbonours. I think the crucial point is that such a site exists now. So even if some young lesbians don't think they need same-sex advocacy and networks, if they ever change their mind later on then they will know where to go.

There's a reason why trans activists have tried very hard to shut down spaces and networks for lesbians. If they allowed same-sex alternatives to exist alongside 'queer' ones, then they know eventually most women will prefer the same-sex ones.

Excellent. I'm passing this on to dd2 & also on to the school where I teach - really good resource for pastoral team & PSHCE planning.

[SapphosRock]

I want to love this but I don't understand why it has to be so explicitly anti-trans.

It is entirely possible for lesbians and the trans community to be friends and allies but this site seems intent on pitting them against each other. It is basically saying being a lesbian is great and being trans isn't followed by de-transition stories.

As I young lesbian I probably would have dismissed it too. Such a shame.

In my opinion all it needs is a paragraph explaining that the site is specifically for lesbians as often the needs of lesbians are overlooked in the LGBT+ community.

It doesn't need all the negative stuff about breast binding and completely disregarding trans identities.

[FloralBunting]

I'm ok with speaking out against breast binding. It's self harm.

But yes, I agree that young transmen are often adopting that persona as part of their grappling with self acceptance and do still consider themselves to be lesbians, or part of the lesbian demographic. Same with young gay women identifying as non binary. I know they're lesbian women, you know they're lesbian woman, but if the aim is to reach out and connect then you have to understand who you're trying to reach. If it's a demographic that has embraced concepts like non-binary lesbian or trans masc, then I do think that grapplibg with that is important, and not just from a blunt 'It's wrong, and you should do this instead'.

Overall, I think it's great, and I'm only saying this because I want it to have the fullest and best impact possible. And in context, it's a small critique, really. The site is lovely.

[NonnyMouse1337]

There are plenty of 'lesbian', queer, LGBT and non-binary groups and spaces for young women. I'm really glad this is the one group that is clear and unequivocal about their stance and that they are about and for women who are exclusively sexually attracted to other women. It's time that young women had good role models to show them it's ok to be unapologetically lesbian. Stop with all the soft, meek, keep-your-head-down-and-hope-they-leave-you-alone approaches. People will treat you the way you let them treat you. There's nothing wrong with being a lesbian and young women need a support network that will clearly demonstrate that there's nothing to be ashamed of, and practices like breast binding are harmful.

Don't like it? Start your own group.

The more variety of groups there are for lesbians, the better. Young women can decide for themselves which ones they prefer.
