The Weird Sexual Lives Of Young Girls

This is a really brave post to write. And it’s amazing how radical it is to talk about girls having an innate sex drive. The most compelling statement to me is this: “We learned that we were supposed to be wanted, not to want. So eventually attention became more interesting to us than sex.” This is a very succinct way of describing the process of gender conformity. I have often felt that my sexuality is supposed to be limited to being wanted. That all I’m supposed to want is to be wanted. Which has never been the case. Ever. And that has been a huge challenge. I hope this post is read widely and discussed. The conversations that stem from it should be fascinating.
