Unlike before, pleasuring myself isn’t a daily or weekly thing. But I'm also not ashamed anymore. As an adult woman, I have granted myself full permission.

This support my gender-fluid child receives at school means so much to my family, but the ripple effects of what the children will learn will go far.

Instead I sit the kids down, explain my concerns, and then monitor their use or consumption, making suggestions along the way.
