Bearded (Demi) Lady
If you try to picture someone who has a beard, would you automatically imagine a man? It wouldn’t be surprising or even wrong if you did. Facial hair, however, is just one of the numerous things that are unnecessarily gendered and labeled as something that is masculine and can only be masculine. By society’s standards, a beard is something that is exclusively for men while biological women do not have hair on their face or chest.

We Shouldn't Care If Someone's "Faking" Being Queer For Attention
There is this odd narrative that gay, bi, and trans people are just being queer for attention. For the past couple of years, there has been a lot of discourse around the concept of "transtrenders" (i.e., people who allegedly aren't "real" trans individuals and are just identifying as such for attention). Before this, countless straight people claimed this same thing for gay and bi people. We were "just being dramatic" or "going through a phase."

Bisexually Christian: How I Integrated My Sexuality and Spirituality
When I was in my graduate program, I took an online clinical course for LGBT+ clients. I remember sitting at my dining room table, my laptop and textbook open in front. We were covering the section on sexual identity development. In my textbook, Counseling LGBTQ Americans, by Frank (2012), there was a different timeline for each of the letters in the acronym, as well as for heterosexuality.

Living my true self may cause problems
Dear mama, Two things that I always taught by you was to tell the truth and to be myself but what happens when that could cause a problem for everyone involved? I know that sounds a little weird, but you'll understand by the end of the next paragraph. There's something that I've known for a while but never felt comfortable telling you.
