Ihrsinn (own spelling IHRSINN ) was a radical feminist lesbian magazine . It was published twice a year from 1990 to 2004 in an edition of 2000 in a total of 29 issues and was supported by the Verein Ihrsinn e. V. published. Each issue appeared with a length of around 120 pages and a main topic. The editorial office was based in Bochum .

Ihrsinn was founded in 1989 by eight lesbians. The aim was to formulate one's own ideas about lesbian identity , culture and politics more clearly. The magazine wanted to examine feminist-lesbian perspectives, stimulate theoretically-oriented thinking outside the university and offer a forum for political debates. The initiators were inspired by English-language magazines about lesbian feminist ethics . Gossip - a journal of lesbian feminist ethics and Lesbian Ethics are named as role models . When Ihrsinn was founded , there were two national lesbian magazines in the Federal Republic of Germany : UKZ - Our little newspaper (1975–2001) and Lesbenstich (1980–1993). Ihrsinn saw itself as a complement to these magazines, not as competition.

The state and the perspective of lesbian identity Search formulated Ihrsinn in its first edition in 1990 this way: we will be painful to the lack of a common history, culture, language consciously "Looking for lesbian identity. Symbols and images that can be used for orientation are rare. We are tempted to exaggerate their rarity value and to create lesbian heroines and myths with whom we may identify. [...] Finding identity-building building blocks in a hostile environment and doing something stubborn and powerful with them: a persistent, creative, radical effort is necessary. "

Ihrsinn wanted to, as the magazine pointedly formulated it in retrospect in 2004, “ did not want to dispose of the heteropatriarchy in its various forms of packaging […] in a reform feminist way, but rather cut off the roots”.
