'The L Word: Gen Q' Continues To Make It Right With The Trans Community By Bringing Back A Pioneering OG Character
Spoilers Ahead for Season 3 of 'The L Word: Generation Q' 'The L Word: Generation Q' [Showtime] If you've been watching The L Word: Generation Q, you have no doubt been enjoying the throwbacks to the past the show has given us (so far). Between OG regulars Bette, Alice, and Shane returning as regular characters, we've also seen on and off cameos from Tina, Cherie Jaffe, and the overwhelming spirit of the late Dana Fairbanks. And to some surprise, this past week's episode brought back a former show regular who was both pioneering and controversial in their own right.

I quit. I'm gay.
“I quit.” Month after month of working myself to exhaustion at a high stress job that gave me a good paycheck at the expense of my self worth had finally come to an end, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted to jump right back into it. I’d grown used to the rigorous schedules, the strict attendance policies, to the constant cigarette smoking and drinking as ways to try to cope with the intense workload I’d always been given; and again, the money I received for it was phenomenal.

Stop Saying These Things to Trans People!. Top Story - December 2022.
This article contains use of language, anatomy terms, and questions that may be triggering to the LGBTQIA+ community. Since coming out as transgender, I've really noticed a difference between the way people treated me as a girl, and the way people treat me as a boy. Especially online, I'm spoken to differently: and a lot of the time, my identity is disregarded completely by people who are insecure about themselves when they acknowledge it. Though I've known for a long time about chasers* in the trans community, I never experienced one firsthand until recently, and it got me wondering. I have a cisgender friend I've known since college, who was never shy about his attraction to me, and who hasn't toned it down at all since I came out. Not too long ago, he said something that really stuck with me, while also completely bringing into question our relationship.

Carry Pride in your Heart (Micro-nonfiction)
My First Pride I will always remember my first Pride event. I went to one at the approximate age of 11/12. My identity at the time was confined to the pressures placed upon it by others. I was a straight ally, practicing Catholic with a growing curiosity for the LGBT+ community. Little did tiny WriterWoman know, she would grow up to be a proud member of the LGBT+ community. That was the start of my journey, my self-discovery.
