A community for lesbians, people whose loved ones are lesbians, people who want information about lesbians, queer people, and allies!

  1. Trans lesbians are lesbians and are welcome.

  2. Lesbians of other nationalities, even ones you “don’t like”, are welcome. Feel free to speak another language if you can, as long as you tag it with the right language flair.

“Pure feminism is nolens volens radical. It necessarily excludes (...) moderation, restriction, half-measures. Being feminist in no way means wanting to obtain a right for a small number of women at the expense of other women à tout prix - being feminist only ever means fighting for the overall liberation of the entire female sex.”

A quote from her writings (machine-translated from German)

for those not in the know:

nolens volens is a Latin phrase that means "willy-nilly" or "willing or unwilling"

à tout prix is a French phrase that means "at all costs", "by any means", or "no matter what"
