There’s absolutely nothing wrong with loving my body. I don’t have to choose between being fat and beautiful, I can be both.

There’s a lot more to sexuality than meets the eye.

You can learn to live with the pain, you can move on as I have after over a decade of self-reflection and hard work, but you never, ever get over it.

To claim that something is “just politics” is to point out how much privilege you have, either systematically or incidentally.

If I have sex with a woman, it does not make me gay. As someone who identifies as female, it doesn’t even make me a lesbian.

Is anything keeping you from believing that you deserve good things?

At this point gender basically exists to sell us stuff.

Even a Google search will conflate “queer women” with “lesbian.” So the first and most obvious thing I wish people understood about being a queer woman, is that we exist.

Treating women like idiots has the additional consequence of making women less likely to report symptoms in general. It’s really exhausting
