3/ I asked her if she is #bisexual which led her on to telling me a story about how she had sex with another girl when she was 17. She said her and her boyfriend ended up in bed with another couple. After having sex with her bf, she got into it with the other girl to please the boys. She said that recounting the story made her feel icky and that she really felt exploited by the experience. Anxious attachment me feels as though she’s reframing the story for my benefit.

Any advice for coming out as genderfluid to people who it would be a total and unexpected shock to, even if they're 99.9999% likely to be accepting of it? I feel like I would be a bit embarrassed and feel awkward if I shook up their whole image of who I am as a person, but hey, it's gotta come out sometime. Sorry if that didn't make any sense the way I worded it. I do hope it made sense, though.

"After over 50 years of incremental progress, the pendulum seems to be swinging back against us. As a community, we are watching attempts to erase us happen in real time, from regressive legislative initiatives to misguided culture wars to scaled-back corporate campaigns. Businesses are showing us that they are willing to turn their backs on us as soon as we become inconvenient.

"So now, more than ever, we need to have each other’s backs."
