heteronormativity

I came to the conclusion that men don’t prioritize the sexual pleasure of their partners, but rather, their focus is largely centered on their own sexual gratification.

Instead of treating queer sex and relationships as something normal and human, these straight women treat queer men in sexual or romantic acts like a guilty pleasure, which contributes to their dehumanization.

Comphet wasn’t just a naturally occurring system in my lesbian brain. It was instilled in me, beginning at a very young age.

For a long time, I looked back on my wild preteen fantasies about making love to women with a big question mark.

If you are unhappy in a relationship, then there is absolutely no reason to stay; it just drains all your energy trying to keep up a facade.

I’m not ashamed of disclosing my sexual orientation anymore. I now can confidently take my girlfriend’s hand and kiss her in public and no longer tremble when someone condemns me, saying I’m going to hell or calls me a bull dyke.

I will no longer allow white supremacy to control my life and will continue to be a critic of its different manifestations. I will continue to decolonize myself by changing old attitudes and habits. Ultimately, ethnic studies fundamentally changed the way I view the world. It empowered me by showing me how I was being oppressed and how I was oppressing others.

Dragon Age’s Morrigan had given me role-playing experience where I was a woman interested in another woman, and I couldn’t do jack about it.
