Yumi Stynes Instagram – TRIGGER WARNING Do not swipe on if stressed or triggered by death threats, threats of violence, racism. ALSO – in pile-ons of yesteryear I have posted some of the hate I received and the result was huge outpourings of sympathy and support. While I deeply welcome support and activism, I am not posting these screenshots with a need for that: I feel well supported, I have a good community around me, and most of all — I believe so passionately in the good that these ‘WELCOME TO’ books do for young people. The books are so rigorously checked and resourced and researched. To write the book we literally assembled a team of professors, doctors, researchers, sex educators, people who are experts in abuse prevention and body safety education. All we wanted to do was the absolute best for our young readers. It was crucial to our personal ethics. So there is no insecurity nor concern from me about Welcome to Sex. What does concern me is impunity: The impunity with which men think that they can attack women. It’s a concern of mine and it will continue to be an ongoing concern, and the best way these abusers can be called to account is by shining a light on them. It’s all their own shitty words from their own shitty minds, posted from their own shitty accounts. Welcome to accountability, shitbags.
