I grew up hating the word vagina.
The idea of menstruation was repulsive
And I was taught to keep my legs shut
Because my clit was inherently sinful
And the blood was too horrifying to acknowledge.
Just a girl.
Raised in a patriarchal family.
But what is family?
Abused at the age of 11, by family, stripped of my innocence.
