Hi, my name is Saphy and I am a middle aged, menopausal, queer Lesbian. I am also passionate about Queer Women’s history. So passionate that I have a collection of nearly 800 notable Queer Women from history. I share a Queer Woman of the Day over on Threads. But may occasionally share here as well.
