I don't remember that particular story, but I was around it my entire life without knowing it. I know that sounds unbelievable, but it's crazy how much you can not see when it's wrapped up in churches, restaurants, your own parents (not quite sure if they were my parents or not tbh), your parents' friends, etc. Like, every girl I'd dated had their first sexual experience at 12, 13 years old. Many times, with the sons of preachers. I fooled around with my first girlfriend in the guest house of a friend of my dad's (allegedly) mansion, in a room that I didn't realize -- until this movement, actually -- was for child rape. A room with nothing but waterproof carpet, and a shallow bathtub. My mother (probably not actually my mother) took me to a doctor when I was very young -- 4, I think -- and the memory of the rectal thermometer has never left me. I didn't realize what that was until, again, this movement.

Texas is absolutely fucked.
