Disclaimer: Not mine & not profiting.
Notes: This fic is not beta-d, so I apologise for any mistakes. This is my first attempt at a fanfic exploring some of the issues faced by women of colour and/or ethnic minorities in the UK. I've been hesitant about diving into this subject matter because I don't want to over-simplify things, but it also seems weird to me that so few authors explicitly address the intersections between sexuality, gender and ethnicity. Critical comments are welcome, but please be assured I don't wish to offend anyone – in particular, the comment about bisexual girls is intended a wry observation about common uses of the term rather than as an insult to anyone's self-identification.
