Dr. Frankie Bashan was recently featured in a Daily Mail article discussing the growing number of women coming out later in life and living more openly as their authentic selves. 

As a clinical psychologist, relationship coach, and founder of Little Gay Book, Dr. Frankie shared her insight into why more women are embracing their identities later in adulthood. In the article, she explained that greater LGBTQ+ visibility and representation in media and society have helped create safer, more accepting spaces for queer people. 

“Spaces are more inclusive, so I think people are feeling safer to actually be more visible.” 

The feature follows the story of a woman who left behind her marriage and previous life to pursue a relationship with another woman, highlighting the emotional complexity, courage, and self-discovery many late-in-life lesbians experience. 

Drawing from her years of experience working with LGBTQ+ singles and couples, Dr. Frankie noted that many women she speaks with have long felt something was missing, but often followed traditional expectations surrounding marriage and family before fully understanding their identity. 

The article shines a light on the evolving conversations around sexuality, authenticity, and the importance of creating spaces where people feel comfortable being themselves.
