2022 WSW Sex & Sexuality Calendar

The past two years have been a whirlwind for many of us in a
lot of unprecedented ways. The new found fear and isolation
experienced by our country at large these days feels eerily familiar
to my daily experience as well as the lives of so many other
minoritized folks. This pandemic has forced a lot of self-reflection
regarding my thoughts, actions, biases, and general assumptions
about people and systems. The world we live in is not broken;
it is sadly working exactly as intended: to privilege the few at
the expense of the many.
I am working to expand my horizons, explore new perspectives,
and begin to understand the experiences of those around
me. I am blessed to have some amazing support networks
out there who are willing to push me to think and do better.
Growth is a journey and not a destination. I have become
vocal about my needs and demanding respect for myself and
those around me. I am trying to live a better example. I am
thankful to IOOV for creating a space for our TGNCNB community.
Raising awareness, highlighting our experiences, and providing
resources, such as HIV/HepC testing and other sexual health
services that are lifesaving.
I am beginning to look forward to a future which a younger
me never thought possible. Our community is stronger together,
and I am honored to be alongside such amazing folx.
