I have to admit, eighty gazillion Trump-years or a month in people-time ago, I wasn’t so sure. My conditioning has been to dismiss porn stars as anti-feminist, as wretched, as not to be trusted, as other.
I love to think that i’m above stereotypes, but I’m not. You make me face that fact starkly and uncomfortably. You make me realize how strong my stereotype of a porn star is and you’ve made me start to think about what other stereotypes I hold. You persist and persist so much that I’m finally realizing that you’ve got the kind of strength and courage I admire in humans. You are teaching me a lot.
You’re not even through yet. Your appearance today, the one that’s all over TV right now, has got me across the line. I’m with you.
Thank you, Stormy. You have done me a shitload of good. I hope you are finding ways to take care of yourself during this incredibly stressful time. I hope millions of men and women realize what an awesome example you’re giving of why women’s voices matter. You’re taking one for the home team in a big kind of way. I admire that. I’m with you.
Take care.
