What Happens to Your Body When You Eat an Avocado Every Day

Reflecting on her sexuality, the model shared a story of when she said it out loud for the first time. She was at a pool bar, and a man came up to her asking “Are you bi?”. To which she responded that she’s been thinking about her relationship to her own queerness, and she thought that the word pansexual spoke to her more than bisexual did (but it turns out the man was asking if she “was buying?”)


In case you are wondering, “pansexual” is used to refer to a person who is attracted to people no matter what their gender or sex.

The model admits that coming out as pansexual has made a lot of things in her life become clear. Tess now believes that this recent realization will allow her to connect with other people on a more intimate level. And she couldn’t be more happy about it.

Being happily married to her husband Nick Holliday and having 2 kids, Tess is planning on remaining in a monogamous relationship. She just says that it’s just nice to be comfortable with your own sexuality and gender identity.

This is what makes us all angry, not just Tess Holliday. Why ones have the need to tell women what to do? That there’s only one right way to be a woman. Women have the right to take care of themselves however they want to, and to define their own future.

Holliday has always been supporting planned parenthood. She didn’t have sex education growing up, and the town she grew up in had the highest rate of teenage pregnancy. This is why she believes sex education is so important. Teens must be educated on sexual health, and provided with an appropriate reproductive health care.
