6. What you are, is cool. So is your partner.

Enjoy yourselves, be who you are, what you are, explore what you want to be. Be playful, try things out.

It's a whole 'nother world of love, once you're out of the binary box.

Recognizing you're not in that box anymore, stretching, looking around and saying, 'huh, cool... let's explore' with a partner who loves you and is cool on the exploring...

...that's about as lucky as you can get, I think.

So... enjoy.

Labels don't matter, although there are now many that describe various ways of not being in the binary box. If you want a label to help build your ideas about yourself around, pick the one that suits YOU, not the one that other people want to tack onto you.

There is a woman inside most men, and a man inside most women. We don't always get to be them.

encouragingly,
Bright
