ex told me i only get to use sapphic "when i'm with a woman" like it's a temporary visa.
we're together now. i still feel weird claiming it after years of being treated like a tourist. how do you shake that.

you counted when you were single too. attraction to women is the through-line, not your relationship status.

anyone who needs you to be partnered with a woman to "count" is doing purity politics. ignore them.
