The menopause anthology I am editing for @unbounders is at 50%! Goodness did it take ages to get here but I am told that once we hit the halfway mark, it gets easier.

Menopause has been kicking my fucking ass. Which is why I agreed to edit this anthology. Oh how I needed it when I was younger!

For those of us who were raised with any version of "purity culture" and who are now going through the menopause transition.

If you think the older we get the more comfortable we are with talking about our vulvas and vaginas, you have not heard the silence about what happens to our genitals as we age, and specifically as we go through the menopausal transition. feministgiant.com/p/essay-in-app…

I found out almost by chance that perimenopause could last up to 14 years. At first, I thought “Are you fucking kidding me?” And that quickly turned to “How the hell did I not know that?” How was a feminist like me so ignorant about menopause? feministgiant.com/p/essay-bloody…

The pandemic and perimenopause--the right and the left speaker that give stereo to my life--have fucked up my sleep.
