Wouldn’t it take paragraphs and pages to flesh out the complexity?

  • How you thought about sex before you tried it.
  • What your first experiences were like.
  • How you navigated sexual desire and its relationship to your own worthiness.
  • Finding partners or not finding partners.
  • How you handled menstruation, contraception, pregnancy and post-partum.
  • Even things like sexual assault and childhood mistreatment.
  • Devastating miscarriages and the shame around an unwanted pregnancy.
  • And what about menopause? I’m not even there yet and my story is already long.

Life is messy. How can we legislate the creation of life? Something so personal, something so ancient, something so sacred.
