The following 4 entries were made in response to the June, 24, 2022 reversal of Roe V Wade. I was shocked in many ways by the decision – First and Foremost I was shocked at my emotional response to the news of its reversal. I literally cried – like uncontrollably – I cried all day – I felt a tremendous amount of grief and sadness ALL DAY LONG.
At 44 years old, with no children of my own and no plans to have any I had NOT ONE SINGLE DOG IN THE FIGHT it was WEIRD to say the least, that I felt such a powerful reaction. It felt like someone died. I live in and have spent almost my entire life in CA where these rights have been protected and remain protected, why was this bothering me so much?
I never wanted children, my tumultuous childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood only solidified my firm stance. I knew with every single cell in my body, from as far back as I can remember – I NEVER WANTED TO BRING ANOTHER LIFE INTO THIS WORLD. It wasn’t because I ‘hated kids’ as many like to stereotype, and I take no issue with women that do have kids, I applaud them and support them. In fact, most of my friends have kids and I love them and their kids. What I learned through therapy is that I did not want to perpetuate a line of family trauma and I certainly didn’t want another human to have anything close to what my experience as a young human was and I certainly wasn’t equipped to give any human anything different than what I learned in my family. This is why, as early as grade school, I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that I never wanted kids.
So why was this new so disturbing to me?
Statistics, national statistics, is why this was and still is so very disturbing to me.
The leading cause of homicide of women in the US is ACTUALLY, STATISTICALLY – INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE – and as much as I’d like to stick my head in the sand and ignore that, my cellular body, apparently, does not want me to. To make matters worse, the single factor that increases a woman’s chance at being a victim of homicide – is ACTUALLY, STATISTICALLY – PREGNANCY – Pregnant Women Living in States with Limited Access to Abortion Face Higher Levels of Intimate Partner Homicide. **Links to both of these statements provided below**

There is a saying, knowledge is power – it has the power to evoke an emotional response to news because subconsciously, that knowledge makes your body feel a certain way, it also has the power to EMPOWER. With Election Day 3 days away (as I type this) I can FEEL how POWERFUL THIS MOMENT IS AND I’M TERRIFIED.
Men have control over their own bodies and they are empowered to make decisions about their own bodies, but for some reason, this country has gone backwards and decided that a female living in her own body does not have the power to make these decisions despite the fact that it LITERALLY TAKES BOTH A MALE BODY AND A FEMALE BODY TO CREATE A PREGNANT BODY. My sadness and grief was a response to being classified as a 2nd class citizen and the power that has been revoked for every female body out there. If you are a female, PLEASE VOTE, if you are a male that believes your mother, grandmother, wife, sister, aunt, niece, or daughter, should have the POWER AND CHOICE TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT HER OWN BODY – PLEASE VOTE – THEIR LIVES LITERALLY DEPEND ON IT.

What the fuck is wrong with people???
Fox News literally spews propaganda and isn’t apologetic
LITERALLY all of this is a money grab
Hosts have literally admitted THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN OR STAND BY the words that come out of their mouths on National TV – they feel the exact OPPOSITE WAY of how they are brainwashing the public to think
MONEY TALKS PEOPLE
Maybe you need to listen a little closer

I have a weird hang up about putting my opinion out there speaking up about something that’s potentially polarizing in nature
I don’t want to be polarizing – But I have to speak up when I see something that more folks need to pay attention to – Again – In my opinion – but I try to argue my points as logically and rationally as possible – without the messiness of emotion Anyway
When I make a post of my opinion – I basically drop it and “Hide” – like put my phone away and don’t use the app – afraid of the impending judgement

Why do we make the burden of proof of sexual assault victims an insurmountable task????
It makes them(the victim) even MORE vulnerable – even BEFORE they are attacked
Consider this – an attacker is aware of said burden and chooses a victim that “no one will miss” from the margins of society
What the state alleges and how charges are brought put the victim at a huge disadvantage – opens the door for the “choked on dick” defense, etc.
SB – you ignorant, self loathing CUNT – come at me again sweetie – my job is not to fucking educate you about the history of drag and that women were not allowed to play themselves in plays so men actually played the women and dressed up in “Drag” thus giving birth to “Drag” – Not my job to educate you on how marginalizing a group of performers does NOTHING to save the children NOTHING – it just makes you stupid and Hateful
