Shower thought of the day is how callously and flippantly some of y'all talk about STIs and people who have/have had them, as if we aren’t real? As if finding out my rapist gave me HPV wasn’t the scariest and loneliest day of my life (after actually being raped), as if the year that followed wasn’t the most self-destructive year I’ve ever had, as if I don’t perform body-checks everyday due to my hypochondria and GAD to deal with the trauma of it. While I consider myself Lucky™ because my HPV was the kind that clears up, I guarantee you I’m not the only woman on your dash that has dealt with an STI. Show some fucking compassion. We feel disgusting and isolated enough.

The dichotomy of “sex positivity” and misogyny.
