Bodies

Embracing and accepting ourselves can be a healing journey, one that honors our unique experiences and the inherent value of our bodies.

Just like riding a bike, self-compassion is a skill that must be practiced.

Trust for our bodies is a two-way street just like trust is between people. Our bodies learn to trust us as we learn to trust them, and we often need to make some important changes to achieve this.

A key first step towards self-compassion is feeling safe from harm. We can achieve this by identifying what we need and believing we deserve it. No one is better suited to support ourselves than ourselves.

Actively listening to our bodies and what they’re trying to tell us often seems impossible, especially in 2025 when transgender and nonbinary people and our bodies are under attack. But it is still possible.

My self-harm scars are part of my history and who I am. Body neutrality helped me rethink my relationship to this part of my past.

A journey doesn’t need to have a destination. Approaching masturbation with a curiosity-focused mindset can help you learn more about yourself.

“How do I enjoy sex?” is hardly a question that’s unique to intersex people, but some of the answers to that question are different than they might be for people who aren’t intersex.

The short answer is this: intersex bodies are built differently, particularly compared to the usual paths people take through puberty. It’s up to you to decide if the word intersex feels right.

It’s remarkably easy to hurt ourselves in the pursuit of feeling good. This guide covers sexual injuries, what to do when and after they happen, and how to prevent them.
