I think a lot about what evidence, had it been measured or recorded or kept, would help make my case. Not in a court of law, exactly, [...] But the court of other people, the court of the body, the court of queer history.
Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

The meaning of sex is always changing and the history of sexuality is complex. Compulsory sexuality and asexuality have changed across time and place; they can, and will, change again.

I have learned that we all contain multitudes and hypocrisies and that change is slow moving. I've learned that reconciliation has to occur between the parts of ourselves that are fragmented and wounded.
