Someone passed on to me the following website, which I thought may be of interest to some of you to share with interested colleagues and learners:
http://www-unix.umbc.edu/~korenman/wmst/f_sex.html It is a compilation of email listserv discussions for women interested in joining an email group focusing on sexuality or sexual orientation.
Some examples:

CANSX-L is a low-volume forum for discussion and resource sharing of information about the study of sexuality and gender. Though the original aim was to provide a forum with a Canadian focus, the list has members from all over the world.

clari.news.crime.sex - A "Clarinet" newsgroup that posts articles about crimes having to do with sex, including child and spousal abuse and sexual harassment, from Reuters, the Associated Press, and other mainstream news sources.

DD-LL (Deaf Dykes - Lipreading Lesbians) provides a supportive online community for lesbians and bisexual women who have a significant hearing loss.

ELLEN is a list devoted to Ellen DeGeneres and her career, but discussion extends to feminist issues in popular culture, especially lesbian identity issues in entertainment.

FemPTheoryQueer-aoir.org is a list for all academics, activists, technologists, and others interested in considering how feminist, postcolonial, and queer issues and methods can assist us in understanding the Internet, related cultures, and computer technologies. Some of the list's current concerns are the politics of Internet research; communicating with individuals in related fields; mentoring among women, people of color, and queers in the Internet research areas; developing bibliographies and syllabi; and academic hiring and promotion practices.

LGBTSA (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Straight Alliance list) has as its goal to facilitate the sharing of information among researchers, educators, and practitioners concerned with LGBT people and families. The list grew out of discussions among members of the Feminism and Family Studies section of the National Council on Family Relations.

RAPECRISIS is a moderated discussion list for survivors of rape and sexual abuse, and for others interested in these topics

SEXNET is an academic list for discussion of sex research. Participants include sexologists, evolutionary biologists, psychiatrists, sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, and others interested in discussing such issues as genetic determinism, the social construction of sexuality, gender differences, sexual orientation, hormone research, etc.
