My Story

Feminist.Academic.Radical.

My name is Laura. I hail from Manchester, England but call California my home. 

I am a student of Women and Gender Studies at UC Berkeley and hope to be a theorist and professor of gender and sexuality studies. It is my goal to be a part of a movement and a community that encourages informed discussion and then action, recognizes equality, instills tolerance and sees the benefit that comes from knowledge and understanding.

I contracted Genital Herpes when I was 20 years old and blog about my experience. I offer any help and advice based on this experience and knowledge. I also hope to fill in the gaps a life of abstinence only sex ed left in your life.

I AM NOT A DOCTOR

This is a safe place for LBGTQ, feminism and sex positivity. I hope you enjoy this blog.
