katstroudofficial: Felt that weight on my shoulders… And it’s time to Embrace All Of Me Openly ✨ In honor of pride this year I wanted to address something about myself that I don’t widely share or openly discuss due to past experiences. I’m bisexual. I’ve known this about myself for many, many years. As a young adult when I tried to talk about my sexual preferences with peers, elders, or online communities I would be told jokingly to “stop being greedy”, “pick one or the other”. It was treated like a joke or experimental phase. As I grew and dated my knowledge of self grew and so did my confidence in my sexuality. Then I met my husband and soulmate. When I tried once again to broach the subject of my sexuality it was treated as a joke (not by my husband or inner circle). The most common statement I’d receive is “how can you be bi when you married a man”. As if marrying my partner immediately erased my sexuality. The fact of the matter is I am bisexual and yes, I’m also a woman who married a man but that doesn’t take away from my sexuality. It’s hard to really form the words I want to say, and as a writer that’s saying something, but I want to set an example for my little one. To teach her to authentically be herself because there is nothing wrong with that and in order to be that example it means speaking my truth AND living it. So here I am and I’m not letting anyone erase my identity ❤️ For anyone struggling I just want you to know you are loved, your not alone, and I’m sending you hugs!! . . . Thank you @tomboyx for sending this set, it truly made my heart burst with joy . . . . #pridemonth #lgbtq #fatbabe #bivisibility #bipride #pride2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLhTH7AsdQ/?igshid=1i7tjxp1mgxv1 -- source link
