I am starting to totally relate to this! In the recent past when I chatted with a woman for the first time on a dating site, I realized her name was gender ambiguous and would be safe to mention in session if it ever came up (it didn’t, and we aren’t chatting anymore).

The other day I saw a new pdoc for the first time and thought of y’all in this thread. On the intake paperwork it asked for sexual orientation and I left that question blank (not completely sure why it’s relevant anyways). Pdoc had a rainbow “love =” decoration in her office, so I’m pretty certain she’s safe, and it was a great appointment, too. When later searching her name online for professional reviews, a marriage license application came up in the results for her with another woman from a few years ago. I can’t lie... I’m absolutely delighted!!

Although there are lots of great men out there and some of them are even my trusted friends, I’m kinda on a “Boo men!” streak right now. I’m also in love (celebrity crush wise) with US women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe right now, lol. With regards to the women’s soccer World Cup currently in progress, one of my favorite headlines from a recent game where she kicked both winning goals was “Purple-haired lesbian goddess flattens France like a crêpe.”

Sending good wishes to all of you on your relationship journeys...
