This is just animal abuse.

There was a lot of this sort of rhetoric back when gay marriage was on the horizon-- people started looking to the animal kingdom to normalize homosexuality. Gayness is what it is, but nothing these people spontaneously presented aligns with anything I've seen in a lifetime of organic animal ownership.

In my experience, female animals of every kind do not get along in captivity-- they don't become lesbian lovers, they just kill each other (try having two female roommates!). They're crazy aggressive (my female dog becomes a violent rapist of my male when in heat) and in ownership or dogsitting it's only female dogs that have ever bitten through my skin. Of four cats, the three females fight each other constantly, and two of them constantly sneak out to kill rats. In humans, sororities are a discreetly-abusive nightmare, and lesbian domestic violence rates are roughly 2x that of gays (and ~1.5x that of male heterosexuals).

Best keep them separated.
