Why Lesbians are Defined by Our Sexuality

Do you have an “Affectional PreferenceÂ for Female Companionship”?Â Hey, world, big news! Gay people are more than our sexuality. I am really, really tired of the focus on the third syllable of the term homosexual. Itâ€™s annoyed me for fifty-four years that I am defined by one part of my humanity. Please tell me why, […]

Sex and Body Image

When I ask women to rank order the most negative influences on their sexual relationships, negative body image almost always tops the list.Â They mean â€œfeeling fat.â€Â True, some women worry about their breasts and hips and skin and other body parts, but by far the major self-criticism is about weight.Â One woman summed it […]

My Life in Fractions

When my friend Judy died, at 55, of metastatic breast cancer, I realized my life wasÂ three-fourths over. I did algebra in my head to arrive at this conclusion, eventually resorting to penciling the backs of envelopes with equations, x over 100 equals 55 (my age) over my estimated death at 75.Â This would be […]

Lesbian: Going All the Way – Part 2

When I came out in the sixties, “coming out” meant reinventing the world. It meant blowing a hole in the constricting walls of homophobia in my personal life, in my culture and in American politics by living out my woman-loving ways each day.
