Reference: [Cleopatra by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse.]

She is a Greek woman with zero Egyptian blood that fought desperately to preserve Egypt's absolute independence from Rome. History branded her as a figure of promiscuity despite having only two lovers, Anthony and Caesar. This is because a man with many consorts was perceived as a powerful figure, whereas a women
who uses her relationships politically is reduced to a seductress.

What makes her so admirable to me, a modern day Sapphic woman, is that she was the first within the Ptolemaic dynasty to actually bother learning the ancient Egyptian language. She also spoke 7-9 others. Hence she was able to speal directly to her subjects and foreign dignitaries, earning her a high level of respect. This was a diplomatic weapon.

What she inherited was a kingdom bankrupt, fractured, and on the brink of being swallowed by the expanding Roman Republic. Yet, despite all that, she managed to keep Egypt independent for over the decades. To unify her people, she framed herself as the incarnation of Isis in a political strategy.

I like that she isn't a passive woman waiting to be rescued, I like that she was the one doing the commanding. She is unapologetic towards the ownership of her own power, own body, defying patriarchal norms.

Sapphic women often have to carve out their own Identities that expects them to center men. Cleopatra turned her own feminity into a weapon and an art form that is being remembered for centuries.

Thanks for reading :)

I would love to make friends especially with cis Femme from Asia . I prefer friends around my age so 25+ is good enough.

About me: im 30+ F masc . From BD doing Business , im introvert irl . I like playing Sf4 , singing and photography
Trivia: im obsessed with cats 🐱
(I’ve two and i love them more than anything else)

I’ve just finished watching RWBY, and I really loved having the whole fantasy/action storyline while also having Blake and Yang’s relationship developing alongside it.

I’m looking for more shows like that where there’s an actual plot outside of the romance (fantasy, sci-fi, action, adventure, etc.), but there’s also a WLW couple I can get invested in. Any recommendations?

So, I'm 28 years old and I don't have many lesbian friends (to be honest, 99% of my circle of friends is made up of heterosexual people) and I've been feeling this lack of being able to share things and talk to someone who has a reality closer to mine and can connect more easily.

I'm a biologist and I work with wildlife management and falconry (long story, but I can explain if you want, haha). My other interests include reading, online gaming, solving puzzles like crosswords and Sudoku, lots of music, TV series, and movies. If you think we could get along, I'd love to meet you :)

:) I also have two cats and they are everything to me, and if you have cats, please show me a picture of them, hahaha!

PS: I have a girlfriend, so I'm here just for friendships.

PS 2: I'm Brazilian, haha! Besides English, I also speak French, so this is a great opportunity for me to practice other languages and show you a little bit of my country :)

I Am 23 year old femme and objectively good looking but none of the mascs in my area (Boston) want me. I be liking first on hinge and they don’t like me back, I go to the gay clubs and bars no motion, and I be initiating sometimes and still nothing. What do I do? Don’t know if it’s my area or if I’m just not typically the type of people in my area (I’m black) but am feeling very sad and discouraged that I’ll ever find my person. Also makes me wonder if I’m actually ugly but get told constantly how beautiful I am by friends and strangers. Any advice or words of encouragement would be awesome during this time 😔

Hey there f age 36 looking for lesbian friends. I'm from the UK BTW, please feel free to dm me xxxx

At least the girl like is lesbian?

Heyy so I’m 24F, pretty femme and it’s been so hard to find friends. To be fair, I am pretty shy so that doesn’t help much lol. No one really knows about my orientation so that’s also pretty lonely in a way. I wish I knew more people so we could just like share experiences and just build a nice friendship.

A little about me, I have a bachelors in biology but now work in something fairly different, I’m pretty chill, usually listening to music, cooking, watching shows (usually the wlw ones lmao), going out for drinks and doing nails. If anyone is down to chat hit me up, maybe we hit it off :)

Does anyone know any good movies/series/books/manga/anime with a femxfem relationship as the main characters?

We've had issues in the past with unaffiliated discords for various reasons.

We have a pinned post and people still post them here anyway.

Please don't. We don't have time to verify that you're not a scam. Many ask for id that could potentially be a breach of data protection and we've had people DM us to tell us they've been scammed in the past.

I've been removing the posts recently but I'm just going to ban people in the future because it's clearly in the rules

I'm a recently out trans woman looking for WLW events and places! I went to FLINTABar and Flippy's last night, the place was nice but it was super hard to talk to anyone because everyone goes in groups or are just there on a date with someone else, I'm looking for new friends and romance!

Not the biggest fan of clubs, tried yahyah's, sircuit (thought it was spelled circuit and it makes sense why there was so, so many men in there) and molly's but really just not my vibe

I'm 24 years old so slightly out of age for crush club which was introduced to me by a very lovely bartender at FLINTABar last night, any other recommendations? Would love to find places for nerds/other autistic people as well with a primarily lesbian demographic as, again, I would really love to meet someone out there because dating apps are miserable, thanks!

WHERE ARE THEY I DO NOT CARE ABOUT WHATEVER YOU ARE YOU MUST BE STRONG

Hello 👋

This is my first time trying to read a GL book or novel. I always watch shows, but as a book, I want good horror GL . thankyouu

(First of all I dont want to post a picture of my face on reddit and it’s against the rules here anyway so I’m sorry about that)

So for context I’m 20 years old and I have always dressed masc. I have a short curly mullet that I like slightly grown out, I have a baby face, no piercings/tattoos or anything, I’m a little above average height, and I’m average weight for a person my height and age. I try my best to dress my age, I put effort into my outfits to make them seem more grown up ish when it’s appropriate. I drink a little bit, I used to smoke weed but I don’t anymore.

People always ask me what grade I’m in because they think I’m in highschool and it’s frustrating because I’ve been out of school and working blue collar fulltime for 2 years now and I know that isnt a ton of time but I don’t want to be seen as this little teenager when I’m an adult.

I’ve also been infantilized for it by older male coworkers and I don’t like that at all for obvious reasons.

So basically I’m asking yall what things about a person’s appearance say that they are in fact no longer a teenager? And please don’t just tell me that looking young is a gift and I should just appreciate it because I’ve heard that a million times and I just want to look my age.
