![]() ![]() Men are not allowed to live in these communities, but a few lands allow men to visit. These separatist communities exist as a way for women to achieve female liberation by separating themselves from mainstream patriarchal society. Lesbian separatism is based on the idea that women must exist separately from men, socially and politically, in order to achieve the goals of feminism. Womyn's lands practice various forms of lesbian separatism, an idea which emerged as a result of the radical feminist movement in the late 1960s. Womyn's land-based communities and residents are loosely networked through social media print publications such as newsletters Maize: A Lesbian Country Magazine Lesbian Natural Resources, a not-for-profit organisation that offers grants and resources and regional and local gatherings. These lands were the result of a social movement of the same name that developed in the 1970s in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and western Europe. Womyn's land is an intentional community organised by lesbian separatists to establish counter-cultural, women-centred space, without the presence of men.

The ERD (Emerging Risks Directorate, a new division of Homeland Security) not only is interested, they are deeply vested in keeping Nexus in check. Its current street iteration, Nexus 3, is already a concern, not just because it’s illegal but also because of its implications – wonderful collaborative work can be done while under the influence of Nexus 3, but there is also great danger for manipulation, coercion and subversion, especially when transhumans (enhanced) and posthumans (radically transformed) are involved. ![]() Naam’s book, Nexus is an experimental “nano-drug” that once ingested in liquid form allows users to link up, mind to mind.
