Artist Jojo Oldham knew she wanted to create a powerful work of art to mark the milestone that she had officially, at age 31, learned how to respect her body. So she took all the comments people made about her body over the years and put it on a dress. The last words Oldham added came from men in a van shouting at her.

There are people who will motivate you and inspire you. They challenge you to move forward and accomplish your dreams. And then there are people who are a weight. They pull you down. When you leave, you feel worse than you were before. Make sure you’re spending the majority of your time with motivators.
When I was questioning whether or not I was a lesbian, I would’ve loved someone telling me that it was okay if I still liked men but had no intention of dating them, or that it was okay if I wasn’t sure if my attraction to them was genuine or forced. We need to support questioning girls and girls who feel drawn to the lesbian label who haven’t figured it all out yet or who don’t know what compulsory heterosexuality is or who have only dated and crushed on men but don’t want to anymore. Not everyone knows everything 100% at first, or ever, and they’re still allowed to be a lesbian. Just because they don’t know our buzzwords or haven’t figured everything out doesn’t mean that we should act like they’re ruining the lesbian label. If they feel like “lesbian” is right, that’s because it probably is.
