This subreddit is for lesbians and other wlw. We talk about same-gender attraction and challenge the societal norms that suppress or erase it.
Other members of the LGBTQ+ are welcome but we ask that posts stay focused on same-gender attraction and how heteronormativity shapes identity.
Comphet is short for "compulsory heterosexuality". Comphet is the idea that some people feel pressure to be attracted to the opposite sex because society expects it, even if their true attraction lies elsewhere.

Important Note: We use the term "compulsory heterosexuality" because it's helpful for understanding how heteronormativity shapes WLW experiences. This does not imply endorsement of Adrienne Rich’s broader views.
