Do you remember when we met in Gomorrah? When you were still beardless, and I would oil my hair in the lamp light before seeing you, when we were young, and blushed with youth like bruised fruit. Did we care then what our neighbors did in the dark?

[trigger warning for rape, religious abuse]

And even the second title change is still blatantly...

When you’re discussing issues that pertain to someone else and not you, and someone from that group, no matter what it is, being a POC, being queer, trans*, etc, PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LISTEN TO THEIR LIVED EXPERIENCES.
