"Cis" or "cisgender" is a term which means that someone has the same gender identity as the gender they were assigned at birth - it means that the person is not transgender.

The word comes from a Latin prefix meaning "on the side of", while the prefix "trans" means "on the other side of". These prefixes also used in biology, geography, chemistry and genetics.

Twitter has (historically, at least) been pretty good on allowing discussion of vaginas and vulvas, but it looks like they've changed their mind on being a space for these crucial conversations. We're very disappointed indeed that they're censoring our fundraising campaign, and very glad that we're in the fedi, which isn't at the mercy of a capricious billionaire!

Donate to the Vagina Museum's campaign to secure a new home if you've ever made a joke about being closed once a month (which is approximately half of the men in our replies). We need your support to get the painters in. gofundme.com/f/9um7y

Photo of spider monkey genitals 

We'll get it out of the way now. Here is a picture of a spider monkey clitoris. The big waggly pink bit that looks like a penis is its clitoris.

"Nudes in a landscape" by Roger de La Fresnaye, 1910.

Occasional blogging - this one is about the role that #burlesque plays in the lives of some of the people who have been involved in my Ages project. It's my impression of what it brings to them, I'd welcome comments (in comments to the post too) from others who perform.

Banned on Instagram because it deems all images of women's nipples to be sexual. There is nothing inherently sexual about anything - how we choose to dress, or to be naked is not sexual or provocative. Sexual response, like any response, is the responsibility of the observer.

Meta's policies don't just reflect common sexist norms that objectify and comodify women's bodies, they support, enhance and profit from them.

Other countries are on track with achieving elimination of cervical cancer. For example, Australia has set itself the ambitious goal of elimination by 2035. Rwanda has been recognised by the WHO as one of the front-runners on the path to elimination. These goals are achievable everywhere, once barriers and inequalities are confronted and removed.

Female Orgasm 

Todays post... Rx #Orgasm. Have you had yours today?

I used to feel shame about my own pleasure... how evil is it to live in a culture or society that makes you feel that?

I also used to worry about how my climaxes were nothing like pornstars... but Peter tells me they are more beautiful. Let me know if you agree.

18th century erotic art, PiV sex, anachronistic costumes 

"Achilles and Briseis" likely by Jacques Joseph Coiny, 1798. This engraving illustrates the characters Achilles and Briesis from The Iliad. Briesis was a concubine given to Achilles as a war prize. She was a source of conflict between Achilles and Agamemnon, who took her from him. She is eventually returned to Achilles and becomes his wife. It's unclear which bit of the story that this illustration takes place during.
