Letters of Curses (why God, why?). Letters sent to Churches (I guess I’ll trust in Him for Her, sigh). Letters I spied from my little eye (the first letter of her name, on your Spotify).

There was a sense of freedom knowing I could write about anything without having to face the people that actually read them. 

Youth is intoxicating, But I stay sober

So long as it’s in moderation, I can go to sleep soundly knowing that I’m not completely abandoning my morals for an orgasm.

Each persona works to discriminate against Asian women in some way and can be translated into how each acts during sex. 

You can be sexy and have sex, but you don’t have to have sex to feel sexy.

There’s so much shame surrounding women in the sex industry and it would be a lie to say that I wasn’t influenced by it.

Hookup culture presented me with the power to never truly experience rejection and to assimilate into teenage norms.

Since that night, I would think back to that moment and feel ashamed that I didn’t insist louder or stop sooner, but at the same time, should I have had to? 

Rather than suppressing the rights of queer, trans and nonbinary folks, we should support their leadership and liberation. If we can move beyond the gender binary as we work for social justice, we can all live more authentic and joyful lives.
