This is well done. I appreciate Hollie Howitt in their effort to change society to stop equating that our genitals equal gender. Hollie uses adult language, while also using controversial words for vagina and penis, she makes a very good point about the human right to orgasm. Plus, they elaborate on how the male… Continue reading Genitals Do Not Equal Gender
I have heard it will take time. That it is going to take time to stop mutilating the genitals of innocent children. No, you are not "fixing us" and getting away with it no longer.
