learning about breasts as baby feeders and male attractors made them appear to be my enemies. learning about my uterus as an organ dedicated to creating and growing a fetus made it appear to be my enemy. i had parts of my body that opposed my own will–where i didn’t want children, my breasts and uterus did. where i was a lesbian, my breasts grew against my will to attract men, and my uterus wanted fertilization. of course i hated them! of course i wanted to cut off and destroy the parts of my body that opposed the innate nature of my brain!

how evil, that little girls are taught that their bodies “want” anything but their own survival and happiness. my breasts store fat that will help me survive disease and famine. my uterus regulates my hormones, keeping me healthy. i could use them to grow and nurture a child if i wanted to do so–but they aren’t trying to push me to do anything. they’re just helping me stay alive! my brain, my uterus, my breasts, and every other part of my body are a team, all working for me, according to my wishes and goals. no part of myself is my enemy.

No part of myself is my enemy
