Dear Bitter Butch: How Do I Deal With ‘Ladies Only’ Baby Showers?
Dear Bitter Butch, I got invited to a baby shower in honor of soon-to-be parents who recently moved out of town. Yay, I thought, it’ll be so nice to see them and congratulate them.

Dear Bitter Butch: How Do I Handle My Girlfriend’s Racist Bestie?
Dear Bitter Butch, I have an odd problem. My girlfriend has very few friends, and one of them is a racist.

Dear Bitter Butch: How Do I Protect My Bisexual Teen Daughter?
Dear Bitter Butch, My delightful, amazing, young teen daughter is bi. Her friends know and her immediate family knows, but she hasn’t discussed her sexuality with the extended family.

Dear Bitter Butch: How Do I Explain That I’m Not Transitioning?
Dear Bitter Butch, In good news, I don’t have cancer. In less good news, surgery needs to be involved to maintain the status quo. I had a salpingo-oopherectomy this summer (and let me tell you hot flashes are ridiculous and I would like to trade them in on a puppy), and will be having a…
