get free or die tryin'.

thinking about the post regarding the biggest fear of women when dating.

i’ve always been afraid an angry partner will hit me.

this includes my most recent ex, who is a woman.

so, i’m thinking about LGBTQIA folks and what it means for any/ all of us — what if we have mamas who where physically violent over any/ everything? what about our other partners? how do we even begin to tell ppl what we really need to feel when interacting with them … and what do we tell ourselves when we intellectually understand that physical harm isn’t gonna happen but our PTSD is in high gear?
