Someone needs to say it:

The city of Oxford is Not Gay Friendly.

I cannot list the number of times my masc fiancée and I have been harassed, pushed off of sidewalks, or denied entry to small shops.

We’ve been living in Oxford for ~7 months and have yet to have one day of being out and about without a confrontationally homophobic interaction, including men just walking right up to us, stopping less than a foot away, and staring for up to 5 minutes.

Autumn is different here, the leaves fall silently, the bite to the air is thick with a damp maw. It is quiet, peacefully melancholic

You smell like love.

So everyone talks about praise kink right? But I think there's something to be said for a reassurance kink.

"That's it, you're doing it right, darling, don't worry."

Any guidance through even the simplest of tasks.

"I'm here, I'm not going anywhere."

Feeling weight, like a hand resting on a shoulder or thigh.

Making eye contact and getting a smile and nod back that says, you're doing great, keep going.

Being hushed or swayed while receiving back rubs.

Being fully surrounded by their body while they say, "it's okay now, I'm here, you're safe."

I was always the girl who loved travelling, seeing the world and it'll always be part of me. that magical feeling when you see all the places you've dreamed of and they're just as magical as you imagined. every step you make is like you're feeling people who were walking there in the past, and you try to keep that feeling as deep as you can so your soul can never forget how you've been free, at that specific momet, not part of this world, but the part of your own dreams.

Love, Sara

So it turns out it eventually gets kinda easier

(after years of treatment and so much hard work and honestly so much more hard work to come but hey this is a start and I’m proud of the little improvements)
