For some reason, I don’t want to be defined as a woman or man or a heterosexual or lesbian. I just want to be able to float above the labels and, at the same time, still be a sexual being.
Sigh.I’m never really satisfied with what I am at any given moment.
The whole thing is worth reading. Go to it.
