What Sex Educators Fight For and Against: Shifting Perspectives on STI Diagnoses
“It’s not always about what you’re fighting against, what are you fighting FOR.”
I heard this quote from @fitxkendall in a recent Intervals and Arms class with @onepeloton. As I face a period of great change and transition, it’s been on my mind since the class.
When it comes to herpes or any STI diagnosis, we often approach from the “fighting against” perspective. Fighting against rejection, against stigma, the stereotypes, the poor education, the feelings of guilt and shame that society projects upon those living with the virus.
But what are we fighting FOR? This is a very short list of some of the things I and this platform fight for and against. Share yours below, and be sure to save this post in case you ever need a reminder or shift in perspective of what YOU fight for.
