V4GINAS ARE NOT SCARY.
Don’t say that a pussy is disgusting. Don’t say ewwww when you hear about one. Don’t use terms like “fishy.” Ever.
MEN CAN ALSO HAVE A VULVA.
“Homosexual” and “Heterosexual” were coined in 1869. They are younger than the bicycle. So: is it not your type, or is it what you were taught to fear? When was the last time you checked? If you’ve only ever slept with cis people, are you sure?
Desire moves. You can be gay your whole life, want someone outside that, and still be gay. You can let an experience be its own experience without it applying for a new label.
MISOGYNY.
HOMOPHOBIA.
TRANSPHOBIA.
RACISM.
FATPHOBIA.
They don’t only decide who you’re allowed to be. They decide who you’re allowed to want. Quietly. In advance. Without asking you. That’s a small life. And it isn’t even yours.
Next time you meet someone, take a second. Listen to what your body is actually telling you, not the voice in your head reciting who you’re supposed to want.
Happy HOWLOWEEN.
Be scary about the right things.
