Hello, my name is Jo, and I want to give you an important message.
I am disguising my voice because I know the consequences of telling the truth but the message I have for you is the honest and essential truth.
I am a lesbian woman. A homosexual, adult human female and all I want to do is protect the women of my community. We are under attack.
I started a blog called Protect WLW Dating to try and let other lesbian women know that our dating spaces were being infiltrated by lesbophobic men, but it was taken down and I was silenced.
While running the blog, I met many other lesbians who had been harassed and abused by men in these spaces, simply for saying no and refusing to be coerced. I know that I am not alone. They are not alone. This is an abuse of our safety that is never spoken about, but I would like to speak and I hope that you can hear me.
Dating platforms are doing nothing to stop the targetted harassment of lesbian women by men. Blogging platforms silence us when we try and speak about it. We can only depend on each other to keep safe because nobody else cares.
I will keep updating as long as I can in the hope that I can reach other women and make sure they are aware of this danger.
Until then, stay safe and stay sane.
Jo xo
