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

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.

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.

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.

Because you only get one shot at life.

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.

At this point gender basically exists to sell us stuff.

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.
