The Southern Baptist Church, and their very REAL (and massive) scandal of child sexual abuse Attacks on the LGBT community have been intensifying. Murders of trans women have nearly doubled year since 2019. Regardless of what bigots like Matt Walsh say, statistics show that trans folk face 2.5 times more likely to be murdered, and four times as likely to experience violence, than cisgender folks…

We have seen the bad behavior. Let’s look at GOOD role models. — A common social phenomenon is that a term will get washed down by misuse, until it loses its meaning. Not every angry woman is a Karen. A Karen is an entitled (usually white) woman who acts like the main character in her own movie, asserting her rights while clearly trampling…

But this is the big dilemma of the white cis, het, Christian middle-class American woman, isn’t it? — She’s found her voice, by way of Cosmo and Gloria Steinem. And by golly, she won’t be cowed. No nuns, teachers or older people will tell her her skirt is too short. …

I decided to share it here, hoping it will be helpful to a few others. And I’ve added a bit more. Please let me know if it resonates with you. A Matter of Taste …

LOVE IT. LIVE IN IT. DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH IT. — I run a global online sex-positive community for women called OurSensualSelves.com.
