Reading Time: 7 minutesWhen I write a tweet about women being murdered or raped, I didn’t forget men. I didn’t forget they could be murdered or raped. I didn’t accidentally miss them off my tweet.

Reading Time: 4 minutesImagine you lived in a world where your family, your faith, your community, your government and your society told you that there was something wrong with you. If you didn’t get fixed, you had no place, no acceptance, and you didn’t deserve love. In the last 20 years, our society has become more accepting, but those wounds on society do not heal overnight, they scar.
