Cannot adequately convey how ecstatic my 2 old dyke NYC household is to see this! Can hardly wait for the first podcast. Congrats and many, many thanks to Julie Bindel, Kathleen Stock, and whoever else is helping out with this endeavor, for all your good, hard, and smart work.

I want to let you know, too, that I've already been able to draw upon your paper "Lesbian Erasure in the UK" in putting together material to send to my New York State rep commenting on a piece of school legislation he has put forward, setting forth, among other things, my concerns about the definition of "lesbian" ("woman" is not defined in the legislation--I'm sure you can see the problems, below):

"The term "lesbian" means a woman or female individual whose enduring physical, romantic, or emotional attraction is to another woman or female individual."

I cited specifically to your paper--credit where credit is due, of course--and am very pleased to now be able to back that up by signing on as a founding subscriber. My comment with him is pending and, while I'm not holding my breath, your paper helped me enormously to make the best possible case I could.

Thank you, Julie and Kathleen, for setting this podcast up. Much needed. Such a good way to encourage discussion, share thoughts and, hopefully, have a few laughs along the way.

Thrilled to support The Lesbian Project! Our smart, funny, fierce lesbian dynamic duo in the United States is Bari Weiss and Nellie Bowles, journalist refugees from the ideologically captured New York Times who, by god, married each other and founded The Free Press, our equivalent to UnHerd. Like UnHerd, though, Free Press coverage is much broader than the gender-critical sapphic traffic I badly need and appreciate in these crazy times. Thanks, Kathleen and Julie, for your important work and this intelligent and funny podcast; it's a lifeline that extends to many of us well beyond the UK.
