TW: sexual assault (s/a)

Following up from our last episode with Anastasia, we expand our discussion of sexual assault from her personal experience to global representation. We do this by talking about:

• #MeToo and its reception
• how sensationalism warps movements
• sexual abuse in the LGBTQ+ community
• post-assault sexuality (libido and orientation)
• self-erasure of survivors and invalidation of labels
• naming sex crimes as precisely as we do others
• insensitive jokes about s/a
