We were alike in our imperfections—her left breast was bigger than the right, I had a bigger right breast. You can skip the normal-life process of slowly getting to know somebody on the shallowest of levels and get right to the good stuff. png%3Fwidth%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%252C220%252C0%252C160%22%2C%20%22600x600%22%3A%20%22https%3A//rebelmouse.

Todd Hayne's gorgeous film was nominated for six Oscars and gave a whole generation of queer women Mommy Issues. I was the one who never really felt like initiating, or at least not with anywhere near the regularity we’d had as a hormone-crazed new couple. Part of the reason why is no doubt what anti-trans lesbians (unreasonably) fear: More and more young people are realizing that they identify as a gender other than the one they were assigned at birth — and more and more young people are realizing they’re attracted to people of two or more genders. But I’ve also felt caught between two seemingly competing currents: the lesbian heyday of generations past and what it looks like it’s shaping up to be — a queer, genderfluid, no-labels sort of future.

Nonmonogamy, then, seemed like a sort of part-time solution to much deeper issues I wasn’t yet ready to grapple with. png%3Fwidth%3D1200%26height%3D800%26coordinates%3D0%252C0%252C0%252C300%22%2C%20%22600x300%22%3A%20%22https%3A//rebelmouse. Still, in opening up my relationship — and in trying to convince myself that maybe I didn’t want marriage or kids or the trappings of conventional adulthood — I wanted to see myself as the cool, hip queer I hoped I was: someone who doesn’t have to subscribe to retrograde and patriarchal notions of what love is, or could be.png%3Fwidth%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%252C39%252C0%252C341%22%2C%20%221200x800%22%3A%20%22https%3A//rebelmouse. png%3Fwidth%3D300%26height%3D300%26coordinates%3D0%252C0%252C0%252C50%22%2C%20%221245x700%22%3A%20%22https%3A//rebelmouse.

Whenever we docked at port, we were offered a bunch of different excursions vetted by Celebrity and Olivia, and Dana had generously offered to book one for me. We’ve talked about how we begin to promote inclusivity while also preserving our core: that this is a company for lesbians. This is a hilarious teen sex comedy about a group of parents who try and stop their daughters from completing a sex pact on their prom night. png%3Fwidth%3D300%26height%3D300%26coordinates%3D0%252C0%252C0%252C50%22%2C%20%22600x200%22%3A%20%22https%3A//rebelmouse. Plus, I wasn’t assigned this story to go and passively report out what everybody else was doing on the cruise; I was supposed to immerse myself in the experience (while, of course, disclosing to anyone I spoke with that I was writing about the trip).It results from a mix of hormones like endorphins, cortisol, dopamine, adrenaline, oxytocin which are released during the play, when different emotions experienced. But the main question concerning Olivia’s younger guests, which we’d spend the rest of the mixer discussing at length: How welcoming was Olivia to trans travelers, particularly trans women? Attending anatomy classes together and spending long hours over big fat books inside an eerie library decorated with skeletons brings people closer.
