"The organization of sex and gender once had functions other than itself—it organized society. Now, it mainly organizes and reproduces itself. The kinds of relationships sexuality established in the dim human past still dominate our sexual lives, our ideas about men and women, and the ways we raise our children. But they lack the functional load they once carried. One of the most conspicuous features of kinship is that it has been systematically stripped of its functions—political, economic, educational, and organizational. It has been reduced to its barest bones—sex and gender...

we are not only oppressed as women; we are oppressed by having to be women—or men as the case may be. I personally feel that the feminist movement must dream of even more than the elimination of the oppression of women. It must dream of the elimination of obligatory sexualities and sex roles. The dream I find most compelling is one of an androgynous and genderless (though not sexless) society, in which one’s sexual anatomy is irrelevant to who one is, what one does, and with whom one makes love."

(Gayle Rubin, "The Traffic in Women")

It's always such an awesome gift when someone chooses to share their gender or sexuality exploration with me, and I strive to be a safe space for people to explore those parts of their identities.

So far in the last year, I've had people come out to me as bi, pan, ace, nonbinary, trans, and generally queer. And I'm so thankful for the trust that takes, and the opportunity to be a part of their journeys.

Friend of mine wants to have a sex date with a guy she doesn't know (yet).

Perhaps some safety precautions should be met? Because in the past some friends of mine shared their live location, had me call them after a time, ...
What do you recommend?

I want to collect some tips / opinions / views.

We’ve all heard men say it at some point.
Wait, you like women? Me too! I guess we’re both lesbians.
