When it says "gay women (only)" does that mean only women, or only lesbians i.e. no bisexual women allowed? I'm bi but I totally prefer women, and would like to post here too, but I don't wanna be dishonest and break the rules if you don't want bi women here (even though I'm like 90 percent into women though)
I'm not a mod. here but I don't think Sam will mind me answering this... Women only means women. I'm bi also and I have posted here a couple times myself. (sam if im wrong, feel free to correct me of course)
This is now mystik_lilac forum and really I shouldn't be answering this because I am male, however I have discussed this with mystik_lilac, when I handed it over to her and so if no one minds i will give you my opinon on this. A few years ago I intended a group which was for 'people who are attracted to people of the same sex' this was worded like this so that people who didn't want a label could just come and be without a judgement from others, that always seems to come when one has a label, wether that be postive or negative, you will also notice that attraction in this group didn't specify sexual attraction persay. So if a person wants to contribute to this forum I believe they have to ask themselves two questions. 1) do you identify as being a woman/female, if you answer yes to that go on to question two! 2) Are you attracted to other women? Now others in life may make the judgement that you are neither of those two things, however providing the person who answers those questions feels they are then thats good enough I believe to post in this space. now bi women may still feel confused about this, I would ask you, are you a woman that is attracted to other women? I believe its that simple, that being said, if you are looking for a space where you can explore your bisexuality then this would not be the right place we have a bisexuality forum for that, however in this space, you can explore your attraction to other women and anything that comes up as part of that. and the mutual respect and nonjudgemental attitude that would go with all of this, almost goes without saying. mystik_lilac is the moderator of this space, however as mod of the gay forum I am here to support her, as such mystik_lilac, I hope you don't mind my input, do let us know what you think about all this, and don't be afraid to disagree with me!!

Thanks for promptly getting to this Sam. As you know, I work during the day, so I didnt get to this until now. I definately think you're on the right track Sam. I wouldnt think of telling a bisexual woman that she cant explore this space. I do think that if she identifies herself as bi, the bisexual forum may be more suitable for her. However, I'm sure there are issues here and information that would be helpful to her. So I wouldnt tell the OP that she cant post here. Also, Sam, you know I have no problem with you stepping in. You're always helpful! =) Lilac
