Trauma of remembering the violence, the hate and the degradation that was and is inside my body and mind.
Trauma of knowing that, and living in a world that ridicules, silences and crushes any [...]

If you don’t already boycott Calvin Klein, there’s no time like today to start. Click the image at the very top to the far left on the CK website (not safe for work) to learn why. Nice. Straight up porn on a website selling jeans to teenagers and pre-teens.
