I always had this idea that, 'Sure, I wished I was a boy and felt more like a boy and all of that.' But I wasn't, so I would deal with it. And I for some reason thought there were other lesbians that felt that way and that was just part of that community. ↗

Women who love women are Lesbians. Men, because they can only think of women in sexual terms, define Lesbian as sex between women. ↗

Our very strength as lesbians lies in the fact that we are outside of patriarchy; our existence challenges its life. ↗
