Dear #Sapphic & other #LGBTQIA Authors:
Do your stories have intimacy like mainstream heterosexual stories? Have you noticed that those books don't include "contains mature themes" or "adult topics" in descriptions, nor are they limited to 18+ readers? So why are yours? Thread. White letters on black background reding "All of my NOP I have. And that's why I don't put such disclaimers on my books and firmly belief that you shouldn't either. #Queer #LGBTQIA #Trans #Sapphic people sharing intimacy is NOT inherently *more* mature than straight people doing the very same things.

A thread about LESBIAN. It's long, sorry/not sorry.
I #StandWithTheT, people. I'm a 60+ cis woman whose been a lesbian for 90% of her life. It took me years to say lesbian without inwardly flinching. I fought to use the word and use it proudly. It's my power word. It's because I have lived with my hard-won lesbian identity all these decades that I can't fathom NOT standing with trans and bi people now.

I didn't arrive at this understanding easily. It took work, help, and mistakes, all of which was worth it in every way.
