For many of us, coming out felt like a confession.
OUR THOUGHTS
Physical spaces are lacking for women & trans/non-binary folks who are queer, fluid, or curious– however we self-define (or don’t). Why not open a virtual space and tell our stories on our own terms?
YOUR WORDS
We’re crowdsourcing stories from around the world. Add yours to the archive.

ABOUT US
We are Meg and Wa, a journalist and data analyst in New York.
Recently, we’ve been inspired by some excellent examples of the female gaze on the page and the screen. But there should be more.
Think of this as a personal history book, a living archive, written by and for us. If you’re into the mission, join us!

"We sat on a hammock in my backyard. It swayed, and the air was charged with something."
"Even if you feel totally isolated and like no one can relate to you, I promise they're there, there are so many communities big and small of queer people of all ages who are ready to welcome you."
"I didn’t know what it was. It’s a feeling that was very hard to explain and comprehend."
