I’m very aware of the fact that I’m fat — trust me. I’ve had this body for longer than you’ve been familiar with it.

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.

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.

We’ve all made bad choices when it comes to dating. Mine involves Hannah Montana, a tractor, and an awkward invitation to a threesome.

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

Because you only get one shot at life.

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