If anything, the article left me feeling even more invisible than I felt before.

Point well taken on the gallery (I hadn't even looked at the pictures)
Thank you for pointing that out.
Ironically in fact about half of them were tv characters that are played by straight (or not known to be out women). For example Santana from Glee, the girl from PLL, the two Grey's characters -Calizona
Blog style articles tend to be from an author's POV. And she also has started a submission project of pictures from self defined femmes on her blog.
Ladies, what experiences would you relay to the world if you were to write a Huff Post article on femme invisibility ?
