RevLez (Revolutionary Lesbians) is a Lesbian separatist platform-publication designed to amplify the voices, frustrations, and struggles of female homosexuals around the world. We want to create a community where Lesbians don't face censorship, repression by queers, and misrepresentation of political "lesbians".
We experience life on the margins, and we should be able to talk about that without the worry of disruption and subterfuge.
There are too many discrepancies amongst the platforms Lesbians gather on, that leave us either unsafe or unfulfilled in curating communities for womyn like us. We are funneled into organizations which largely don't represent our core interests, institutions that fundamentally oppose our principles, or platforms that seek our silent service. We cannot continue like this, and we have a right not to associate with that which does not benefit us.
We want to normalize decoupling from being force-teamed with causes and ideologies that have nothing to do with us.
We are not represented in "Feminist" organizations, "intersectional" political groups, in "queer" projects, or by political fauxbians whom are effectively stealing from us. "Sisterhood" means nothing if we are unwelcome in positions of leadership, and we are constantly having to bargain bare-minimum standards to lend our support to people, platforms, politics, and organizations that continue to marginalize us for their own benefit. We hope that the creation of this space inspires more Lesbians to practice our own self-preservation and self-determination.

As this project is still in its early stages, we hope that with our growth, we can help other Lesbians build independent platforms, political campaigns, and media that represents us in an authentic way, and reflects the experiences of natural female homosexuals.
From Sasha:
I created RevLez to push back against all angles of Lesbophobia permeating today's society. We are facing attacks, denigration, and marginalization by queers, heteropessimists, traditionalists, religious extremists, racial loyalists, and a seemingly endless chain of male supremacists.
I want Lesbians to have a place to go where we don't have to wade through seas of celebrity gossip forums, pornographic content, and loser ass message boards. We deserve our own platforms away from outside influence, and the dignity of discussing our own issues without constant interruption and the advertisement of outside causes. I believe the reason why Lesbians are so atomized and fractured today is because we don't have any place where we are in positions of leadership, or where our voices are prominent.
That changes today. I hope my sisters enjoy their time here.
