Hi norberte,
I don't out myself willy-nilly but generally nor do I tie myself up trying not to. I guess a lot of the time I talk about my 'partner', which of course is an asexual term. However, I have also referred to my partner as 'she' particularly on threads I post on regularly, and can happily report that I've had no problems, this applies to secondary live chat too. On the whole it appears that being a lesbian isn't much of an issue, or atleast not one that people have verbalised!
Hope you are becoming more comfortable and complications are lessening.
Hi everyone else.Have a good weekend everyone, Julie x
