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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
