It wasn’t what Debbi thought she wanted in a relationship, but there was something about Jessi that she couldn’t walk away from. Although Jessi had lived for over 2 decades as a man, all Debbi saw when she looked at her partner was the woman inside. The woman she loved. The woman she would support and encouraged to st...

Back in the spring, I attended my local women’s march. It was after hearing that The Women’s March was being renamed The People’s March, in order to be more inclusive.

I decided that I should see for...

Let’s talk about the word “queer”. Over the last decade, the “queer community” has been used instead of the “LGBT community”. Not everyone feels good about being called queer, myself included. “Queer” is said to be the more inclusive term to refer to lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans identified people. But is that true? And where does the lesbian woman fit into this new inclusive community? My spec...
