Safe Reading Zone
Welcome to my website. I am a bisexual woman writing mostly about gay men falling in love. This site is a safe place for anyone intersted in such things, whether just to read the stories, or to find someone of like mind to talk to.
I know when I was younger, it would have been so different to have someone to talk to about what I was feeling. I had questions that didn’t seem to have answers anywhere I looked. It was a different time, (not that I’m that old! lol!) and the idea a person could be attracted to men and/or women wasn’t one that even existed in the environment I was growing up in. Much of what I thought I understood about myself on the inside just didn’t have any context out in the world. It was hard to be so invisible surrounded by a huge and gregarious family, when everything on the outside seemed so clearly defined. There were a lot of things that I wish I had know then that I have since figured out, thanks to some very kind and generous people who took the time to listen. If I can pass that forward in any way, I will.
This excerpt from an interview in September 2011 between genderfluid Andrej Pejic and ABC’s Nightline Juju Chang says something about being who you are that makes a lot of sense to me:
Chang: When you see yourself in the mirror, do you think of yourself more as a man or as a woman?
Pejic: I like to keep my options open.
Chang: What does that mean?
Pejic: I see myself.
‘I see myself.’
That, friends, says it all. Take a good look in your own mirror, and know the person you see there is worthy and beautiful.
