Here come the lesbians, here come the leaping lesbians...

It seems like there's a lot of policing of threads by members recently based on how people identify and who can post where.

As in "I only want femmes to reply to my thread" and "why is a non-lesbian starting a thread about lesbians?"

And why so many accusations of thread derailments? Some of the best discussions happen because people expand on topics.

Both things seem very divisive and silencing. Can we loosen up a little?
