About r/ActualLesbiansOver25
We're lesbians over 25 who felt like the sub r/ActualLesbians was excellent, inclusive of all WLW, did a good job of enforcing no TERFs, & wanted to replicate that for the 25+ crowd. Simply put, WLW life in adulthood is much different, and as much as we're a part of r/ActualLesbians, we wanted a space where WLW 25+ can discuss more specific 25+ things separate from teens or the younger crowd. We do NOT tolerate TERFs, anti-trans rhetoric, or any form of bigotry.
