If you find sex & dating content on our website that speaks to you, then I’ll know I’ve done my job.

I’ve had three full-time jobs for this company for 11 years and today I’m taking the triumphant step of knocking that down to two!

“I hadn’t yet come to terms with being a lesbian, so I also spent a lot of time making excuses not to have sex.”

These are the things that are gone from our lives now but we still think about and miss all the time.

“The thing is, if the people in your life respect you, they’ll give you the space to figure out where you’re comfortable. It’s YOUR name. You’re the person who has deal with it every second of your life.”

“I also spent some time writing an intentionally awful Snape/Dobby/Giant Squid love triangle short story because sometimes you have to make your own fun.”

I wonder what Laneia looked like in her winter coat as a small child, or what pose KaeLyn made in front of the Christmas tree when she was 4, or what wacky gift Riese’s aunt bought her one year. LET’S FIND OUT.

“Apparently INFJs operate more off feeling, and I would say that intuition very much commands my brain/heart ship, so it’s an accurate assessment. How’d this bitch know that I’m soft-spoken though?”

“Does anyone at the CIA who is for sure reading this want to hire me?”

I like to think my morning routine screams “I’M A WRITER” but it probably mostly just screams “I DON’T TAKE GOOD ENOUGH CARE OF MY BODY.”

You’ve read their writing so now let’s officially meet them!

For a myriad of reasons, we all somehow ended up clicking over to this very special place called Autostraddle Dot Com at some pivotal point in our queermo lives, and now we’re all still here making it happen! In this roundtable, our editors and writers share their “root” — the posts that brought them here for the first time.

Toeing, spooning, kink, crushes, and the almighty Autostraddle Chart. You asked. Riese, Laneia, Rachel, Yvonne and Heather answered!

Considering how special each and every snowflake is who works here, there’s bound to be something in this guide for you, your girlfriend, all your gay friends, and maybe even one of your most badass family members.

This is an essay about leaving everything behind, and I don’t know where to start because part of what that means is that I am leaving you.
