We want to host you. In case you're confused, we are lesbians and this site is for lesbians. By 'lesbians' we mean women who love women.

We have enabled our Forum. Just click FORUM: YOUR TURN and start a topic.

On our blog right now you'll find articles on Dyke Space; Trans / Lesbian drama; the controversy over Google and free speech; The New World Order; and whatever you find within those posts that piques your interest and comments.

…so if no one needs to identify as anything, why use the term ‘lesbertarians’ then to imply it’s for lesbians?
And if it’s ‘free’ and ‘open’, why have the pejorative phrase like this:
"On our blog right now you'll find articles on Dyke Space; Trans / Lesbian drama..”
This says everything about your biases and your blog site is clearly not a ‘safe space’.

OK, you're right, I suppose, if you don't feel safe. It's for lesbians. If you think the word 'drama' is pejorative, sorry. As far as saying 'everything about my biases' I think you could post anything you'd like and try not to freak out if I don't agree. But maybe this is not something you can do. Too bad. That's the point of this forum.

OMG. It’s two egregious things you’re doing:

That you don’t even get why using the slash mark between the word trans and lesbian says it all.
Don’t you realize that you are saying that they are one-in-the-same when you do that? That’s what the slash means!

Then yes- using the word ‘drama’. You trivialize the very concept.

And no. You couldn’t pay me enough to join in on such an ignorant-based blog. It’s this mentality that is costing the lives of real lesbians who dare to be pointing out this fascist trend of bowing to the testosterone king! #BigPharma

Get Educated. Please…...

Sorry, Joey, but you are incorrect in your interpretation of the slash mark. It is used as a separator, as an indicator of opposites, etc. Not as 'one-in-the-same'. Suggest you check out a dictionary.
Drama trivializes? Tell it to Shakespeare.
Don't comment if you don't want to. It's a free country. If you'd calm down you'd see that we agree. You seem to have missed that.

You’ve tussled with an English geek, so here’s some education:
A slash or slant or [ / ] is used to indicate a choice between the words it separates.

On the other hand, when you want a phrase or another part of the sentence to have extra emphasis, a dash can do the trick.

In the case of the wording in your blog, the phrase should have been: "On our blog right now you'll find articles on what it means to create Dyke Space, discussion on the concept of the’Trans’ Phenom, and Lesbian activism”

THAT is what it would mean if you were PRO-LESBIAN/PRO-DYKE, Rosa.

‘calm down’? that’s equivalent to a man-on-the-street who feels threatened by the very being of a butch lesbian and says to her, ‘you should try smiling more’.
And using the desperate “it’s a free country” PSA? The weakest argument as there are so, so many wicked things that go on because of legal rights in the U.S.A. that defy morality or ethical responsibilities.

You may think that you are pro-female, but you clearly suffer from internalized misogyny like so many lesbians in our big bad-ass ‘community’.

So, just stop already. and don’t think for a second that ‘we agree’ bullshit. All I can see is that we are miles apart and you are a dangerous part of what’s spreading the anti-lesbian Koolaid that’s being promoted in these times. But you seem to have missed that. And so much more here…. I’m done. And please just stop responding as you’re only degenerating into buffoonery.

I left this exchange up as an example of what is not tolerated on this site. No personal attacks.
