About:

dykeRIOT! ;
We are women. We are ever changing. We are beautiful in our own ways, powerful and outspoken. We're not afraid to be silly. We're not afraid to speak our mind, judge when and however appropriate. We are true to ourselves, expressive and craving change. It's not fair to expect much of anything out of a riot. What does a riot entail, if not unrestrained massive movement? It holds no particular weight or direction. It's just a catalyst in and of itself. What we're trying to say is, everyone will get something different out of this community. Some people are here to have fun. Some people are here to express themselves. Some people are here for support. Some for sisterhood. Some for causing a ruckus. Some in the name of art.
If you don't find what you're looking for, we're sorry... but maybe you're not looking hard enough- or maybe we're just not for you. We can respect that. Maybe you're just not ready for change. Or maybe you're not ready to get on your soapbox and make a personal declaration.

And with that, welcome to Dyke_Riot!, a 16+ (friends only) rating community for bicurious, bisexual, lesbian, queer and transgendered rioteers. Accept no substitutes!

RIOT!rules ;
- Please note: These rules all have an important purpose. Each rule helps keep the community organized and running smoothly. Please follow them. If you have trouble with anything or if something is unclear, feel free ask one of the moderator's and they will gladly help.
001. You must be female, bisexual/lesbian/trans/queer, and at least 16+ years of age to join this community. All joinings will be approved by the moderators.
002. Once your membership is approved, post your application within two days or you will be removed from the community.
003. When applying, put "RIOTRIOTRIOT(*insert application level here*)!" & in the parenthesis include your application level (either Advanced, Intermediate, or Basic). "We want a REVOLUTION!" belongs in the lj-cut.
004. Nobody wants to read a short, boring, uninformative application. So put some effort into your application and show us as much as your personality that you can. We recommend longer answers so we can get a feel of who you are. None of the questions on the application are optional, so fill out every question.
005. When we ask, "Could you start a riot?" your answer should be "Grab your gun and cock it. Girls do it better and we know it!". If you don't put this we will know that you didn't read the rules and you will probably get a lot of no votes.
006. All entries must be made FRIENDS ONLY!
007. You may comment on your application, but you are not permitted to post or comment ANYWHERE until you are stamped as accepted. If you are found doing so you will immediately be rejected and banned.
008. Feel free to speak your mind here, as long as it doesn't start drama. Childish name-calling and insults will only show us that you are unintelligent and that you don't belong here. People who intentionally start drama will be dealt with accordingly by the moderators of the community.
There are two applications to pick from. You don't have to fill out both of them. You only have to fill out one. So please pick the one you are most comfortable filling out.
Advanced
As a community, we want to encourage activism, strength of mind, debating, etc. So, the Advanced application contains questions that are more or less geared towards advanced feminism and gender theory.

Please post 5-100 pictures of yourself. One of them MUST be a 100x100 picture of yourself.</lj-cut>

Intermediate
We have a lot of applicants that apply to this community who aren't as knowledgeable about their own sexuality, let alone advanced feminism and gender theory-- which is why we have created an Intermediate application. This application contains the best of both worlds; simple, basic "get to know you" questions & feminism and gender theory. Not too hard...not too easy...just right!
