Hi, I'm sorry if this sounds like a odd request but please could you remove my name from the member's list for this club. Please could you also remove the username lavenderxhaze. It's from my previous account.
No worries. We dont have a list of usernames, just a count and i can definitely subtract these 2 from it. I hope everything is okay?

The Chinese Lesbian dating show LeLaLes have just finished filming (in Thailand) and they are now in post production. To get an understanding of the passion the makers of this show have for their project, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Acge4EVO1eM
I had to laugh when the one straight guy they have in their crew was referred to as the "diversity hire".
Lol, this cracked me up XD

I'd love to get your opinion of the dating show "ToGetHer" if you're happy to offer it.

Honestly it was a mess to me.....1st its not a lesbian dating show...not everyone was gay... it was a wlw /sapphic show which is fine but different. Language matters. also the weird age gaps, horrible production and the way they elected to stream it .

If you don't mind educating me, what is the difference between a "lesbian dating show" and a "wlw/saphic show". I am aware that at least one contestant identifies as pansexual, another as a bisexual and a third announced after the show concluded that she no longer considers herself a lesbian, although I have no clue what she does now identifies as.
I agree with the age gap thing - it was a bit much. I'm actually more bothered by the fact that the young woman wasn't informed that she'd be about 10 years younger than most of the other contestants before she went on the show. She really should have been told beforehand so she had the opportunity to withdraw if she wanted to. I didn't mind the production quality - I thought it was reasonable, especially when compared to "Heroine: Les Fall in HERoine" which wasn't great.
I'm hoping and expecting the Chinese lesbian dating show "LeLaLes" to be considerably better than either the Korean or Taiwanese shows.
also the weird age gaps,
This I agree with. It was a mess. And it all ended in a very mean-sprited way. I dropped it.

The word 'lesbian' historically actually very much did include bisexuals. 'Lesbians' were just all the sapphics who showed up to lesbian bars. There just was no distinction at all.
The distinction between bisexual and lesbian women only began being made in the 1970's, under pressure from the AIDS crisis (bisexuals were being maligned by society for bringing 'the gay disease' from the gay community to straight people, so lesbians didn't want to be associated with them anymore because of respectability politics) as well as pressure from political lesbianism/lesbian separatism, which was a movement of women of any sexual orientation who made the political choice to swear off and stop interacting with all men forever, and in this framework bisexuals were seen as suspect, impure and prone to gender treason for being attracted to men.
I don't really understand people who dislike a TV show with reasons like 'but they're not pure lesbians, they're bisexuals'. It has strong 'you can't sit with us' energy. Sure, yeah, the word 'lesbian' generally means 'woman who is exclusively attracted to women' nowadays, that's true, but what I don't understand is the fact that people are so fixated and upset about mere terminology. In the end the show is about women loving women, and no men are present on camera anywhere, so why would it matter if some of them are also sometimes attracted to men in their lives off-screen? That's not a part of the show anyways. I don't get it.

I don't get it.
It seems we're gearing towards a lesbian vs bisexual argument on here. I'd rather we don't do that.
The infighting between lesbian and bi women has been going on forever. Let's put it to rest, at least in this club.
Thanks a lot!
