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

It's okay to dump your friends — even friends who have been there for you in the past. Remember today that you deserve good things and good people.

Because you only get one shot at life.

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

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.

A polyamorous relationship is like any other relationship — you set rules and sometimes you hit bumps along the way, but everyone involved knows what is and isn’t acceptable.

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.

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.
