The police I was supposed to ask for help from were making jokes about naked yoga from the start.
Ffs... this is why criminalization is so dangerous. 40% of LE are known abusers, but allowed to keep a badge. Even tho laws don't always keep them from abusing, that layer of legal protection would at least be something to help prevent abuse of victims. Fuck, i'm so sorry those were the police that came to "help". 😖

Many people who perpetuate violence and rape would not do so if they were not being traumatically systematically deprived of sexual safety and sexual contact.
When they have no safe place to go to get their sexual needs met, problems erupt everywhere in their lives.
In order to protect people experiencing this compounded violence, we need to increase access to healthy intimacy resources for individuals and communities.
