Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

You mean what we called LUGs when I was in school?
I've never heard of the term "LUG", but I am vaguely familiar with the idea that some women feel free to have sex or relationships with women until they graduate and then intend to marry a man.
However, this is very different from political lesbianism, which is basically when a small group of extremist feminists suggested that men are inherently bad, all penetrative sex is inherently violence against women, and as a result heterosexual relationships are immoral and all women should be ethical lesbians (i.e. choose to only be in relationships with women for moral & political reasons).
This is of course not how human sexuality works, and political lesbianism failed. These ideas were connected to separatist movements in second wave feminism, the ideas of women forming their own separate, utopian society away from men and so on.
