Alexis Krauss Instagram – I am not my body. I am somebody.
This shirt hits especially hard today and not just because I love sexy queer unicorn bass players 🦄 @dreamwife
The words below are imperfect and distracted. After all, I am drafting them while my five month old son suckles from my breast, cooing and smiling. It’s pretty hard to focus…
As he nourishes himself from my body, the same body that grew him and birthed him (!!!) I daydream about him growing up in a world where the bodies of women and other marginalized beings are respected and celebrated. A world where all people have agency and choice over how they want to show up and experience life.
On this International Women’s Day I grieve for the mothers in Gaza. I grieve for the trans community. I grieve for the victims of sexual violence. I grieve for the humans unable to access safe abortions. I grieve for anybody who doesn’t feel safe and protected.
Over the years the way I think about this day has evolved. Now being a mother, and raising a privileged white male, I feel an even greater responsibility to empower those who have historically been disempowered.
Despite all of the pain, I want to celebrate those incredible humans out there who are fighting to exercise choice over their bodies. I want to celebrate the scars of childbirth and the scars of top surgery. I want to celebrate the titties, however saggy and sucked on they might be. I want to celebrate the stretch marks, the folds, the pouches and the pussies.
Get out there and take up all the space you can. Get out there and disrupt. Cause lots of trouble. Get out there and be your most colorful, loudest, queerest, fiercest and sexiest unicorn.
Thanks for indulging me in this last minute pants-less nap-time photoshoot @chris_vultaggio 🥰 | Posted on 09/Mar/2024 00:23:02
