I'm noticing a serious "daddy" trend in so many essays we've been receiving and publishing. But I didn't expect it from a woman living and loving another woman. So much to unpack here!

I wanted much more unpacking but maybe that will appear in the memoir.

This is the first piece I have ever read that’s come close to how I feel about exploring my queerness while being married to my wife. I really agree with the concept that we queer folk are maybe better at recognizing, and working through, the dissonances within our identities.
