Ok, let me tell you my story. I used to identify as a lesbian, was not interested in men at all. Still not really interested in men, but that's not the point. One day I met a guy, and we became really good friends. We'd finish eachother's sentences, had the same taste in stuff (and women), same personalities, same views on important stuff, and would talk for hours and hours on end. We were just friends, because I'm a lesbian, right? Years go by.

Later on, he starts becoming a little bit distant and sad, and I notice something is wrong, but he won't talk about it. Months and months continue like this. One day he confesses to me he likes me as more than a friend, and he feels like he's betraying my trust in him and he knows, because I'm a lesbian, it could never amount to anything, right?

So I sat down and I thought and thought. And the question it all came back to was "should I say no because I never really ever saw this happening, or should I give it a shot, see where it leads, and if it doesn't work it doesn't work?"

Long story short, we've been together around 6 years and are getting married next year. It's easy to pigeon-hole yourself with labels like gay or straight, but they don't actually truly describe the complexity of attraction and sexuality. You don't need to fit a term, and a term doesn't even need to fit you. Don't let your assumptions about yourself make choices for you; you might be very surprised. I was.

Thanks :) I couldn't be happier, even if my friends do introduce me to new people as "the worst lesbian ever". ;)

So I read your website and the only thing I ould find about what you actually do to support people with disabilities is this:

We donate a portion of all regular tour package fees to assist local sports programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

There were also a dozen pictures of some white people playing in a room with Asian kids.

I have a few questions.

  1. How much have you actually donated to local sports programs for the intellectually disabled in the DPRK?

  2. What percent of the gross fees you charge participants goes towards these programs?

  3. How do you ensure this money actually assists these children and their families?

This is fascinating, thanks so much for sharing and being so candid! Also I am so sorry about double the maintenance.

With periods are they equally heavy on both sides? Do you ever end up feeling the tampons... sort of pushing against each other or otherwise getting in the way? I'm not going to lie, the idea of having two simultaneous periods seems like it would be so uncomfortable. 1 is bad enough.

Also, good luck with your pregnancy!

It's not a gotcha, they're actually pretty lowball questions for anyone engaging in charitable activities. I just want to make sure the disabled kids are actually getting something from this deal, especially when they are being put front and centre as the advertising rationale.
