So, You Don't Experience Sexual Attraction?. Top Story - September 2017.
As we know, with the end of our fleetingly short and carefree childhoods comes the new, challenging, and massively inconvenient age of puberty. Puberty brings up a whole host of challenges and changes to overcome and adjust to, both physically and mentally, and it is during this age that 99% of the population are awakened sexually.

Promise To Be Tender: Part Eleven
As we got to the door of Kris' bedroom for our last time together, Jenny and Kris both already had their shirts off to hang on the door hook, not even looking as they put them there, and wrapped their arms around each other. I stopped in the doorway, content to be a voyeur, as they seemed oblivious to me.

I Would Love for You to Not
The first time I heard the word asexual it was an insult; someone who wouldn’t let a guy hit on them, someone who was a shut in. That was a few years before my best friend, while driving me from campus to their house, told me I might be asexual. I didn’t know what they meant, nor how to respond, so all I said was the word, "What?"

Promise To Be Tender: Part Seven
The three of us changed, and it happened that night Jenny and I loved on Kris. Personally, I think about how concerned Kris was about the tenderness between Jenny and me, and how that wasn't really happening as it should until the two of us showed tenderness for Kris, shattering every doubt she could've had with our love for her. Before that happened, I probably would have said, "Sounds like a bunch of bullshit."

What It's Like to be a Queen: Lady Boi
For a while now, I have wanted to do an interview with someone but I wasn’t able to decide on who. Who would want to take the time with an amateur writer like myself? I ignored that annoying voice in my head and began to focus on who I would want to interview. Out of everyone I would want to talk to I realized that the most questions I had pertained to other members of the LGBT community. Why not interview a drag queen? I’ve always been interested in them but too shy to ask questions, there had to be others with questions just like me.

The Bathroom Debate
Every couple of weeks you may come across an article or a headline about some trans person trying to use the bathroom and getting stopped for some ungodly reason. Maybe it's to protect people, which is wrong because more people in office have probably assaulted people in bathrooms than trans people have. Or maybe it's because they just don't quite "Look like they belong there." But what does that even mean?

What Is a Demisexual?. Top Story - July 2017.
Today's sexual orientations aren't just stuck to homosexuality, bisexuality, or heterosexuality. As sexologists continue to study sexual attraction, it's becoming clear that sexuality is a spectrum and that not all people fit in "traditional" orientations.
