"I really, really would like to be dating someone right now, but I feel like all I'm doing is wasting people's time by hanging out with them and hoping that a physical attraction will magically form itself."

‘How Do I Date When I’m Attracted to Hardly Anyone?’

“I’ve been out and queer for a long time now, and I get quite a bit of attention from people. I have a lot of self-confidence and if I’m into somebody, I’m not afraid to make a move. My problem, though, is that I’m just never into anybody.”

Queer Ballerina Shaelynn Estrada Really F*cking Loves Ballet

“In terms of classical ballet — and even most contemporary works — it’s all about the guy saving the girl. That’s the dynamic. It’s always a girl and a guy. And like bang bang cool I’m obsessed with it. Literally. I love it. But it creates a culture. It’s not even just that no one talks about it — it’s like it doesn’t exist.”

The Many Ways Trans Women Find Sapphic Love

“As a trans woman, lesbian is about how I understand my gender as completely separate from men. I don’t ascribe my gender to perform for men. It gives me space to say that my attraction and my identity exists outside the bounds of what a man finds desirable.”
