Chapter 1: She’s just not that gay!

Written By Guest Writer, Jolie WWG asked: How do you deal with the idea that eventually you will be with a *man*? A man with hair in odd places, and no breasts, and a lower voice, if he chooses, even a penis? How do you handle being in this somewhat limbo position of currently having [...]
Happy 4th All you 2nd class citizens
