One of my 4-year-old twin daughters is a balls-to-the-wall, head-first-diving, highest-tree-climbing, 800-meter-running, outlasting-the-Duracell-battery-rabbit, dress-wearing-in-the-dirt, worm-collecting, stunning beauty of a kid. The other is a boy. When I say she is a boy, I mean just that. She’ll tell you, “I am a boy.” I also mean that “she.” She is a “she.” At least for
Carol Queen’s Commentary Spot: What Makes a Sex-Positive Space?
At CatalystCon I participated in a panel called “Slut-Shaming in Sex-Positive Communities” — and I’m going to tell you what I told them: that I don’t think a community, or a space, where people are subjected to slut-shaming (or homophobia, biphobia, “heterophobia,” kinkphobia, transphobia, etc., etc.) can be called “sex-positive” at all. “Sex-positive” has, in some

That Poly Thing
I’m amused at the reaction of folks when they find out we’re a poly household with children. If I got a dollar every time someone said, “That’s the way to do it. Outnumber the kids,” I’d have enough money to buy our house. I always wonder about the questions they don’t ask. It’s an amusing
