>> Subject: CABS Membership Call: Let's Talk About Sex
>> 
>> ?Dear students,
>> 
>> Thanks to all who joined us on Saturday for our study night. We had a
>> discussion that reaffirmed how lucky I am to have been taught
>> technology skills, how lucky I am to have been given technology
>> despite the number of letters of justification and phone calls I?ve
>> had to make, and how I need to get back into Braille. Please remember
>> that though we often face struggles with the Department of Rehab and
>> other similar entities, we are fortunate to have the tools to advocate
>> for others, and that we should represent all blind students with pride
>> and thankfulness. And of course, we should never settle until all
>> blind students are able to acquire equal rights as our sighted peers.
>> 
>> And now, let?s get ready to talk about sex. As someone interested in
>> helping to research and to reform sex education for the disabled, I
>> have been waiting for this call for a long time. CABS and I are proud
>> to put on a student-led forum in which we will discuss any aspects of
>> consensual sex that you, our fellow  students, feel curious about. We
>> will of course discuss consent. We recognize how insufficient sex
>> education is for blind students, and we would like for you to feel
>> safe and comfortable approaching sexual relationships. As an example,
>> I was shown an anatomy book, but I wasn?t shown how to apply condoms,
>> and I was never shown three-dimensional models of sexual organs, which
>> I believe would have been much more useful. Here?s an anonymous Google
>> form, where you can submit questions ahead of time:
>> 
>> https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1LATAl-0MF1W0RjYIu2Wqbsq1AjnIHlARv4MQYXVIAyM/viewform?edit_requested=true
>> 
>> Please understand that we will be discussing sensitive topics. We will
>> expect that people refrain from recording this call, and we will
>> expect that people be respectful of any questions that are asked,
>> whether those questions concern ?kinky? sex, or are asking how to do
>> things, etc. Be respectful. And we will not, in any way,  discuss how
>> to conduct nonconsensual sexual activities. Doing so would be
>> unconscionable and unethical.
>> 
>> Join us on Saturday at 3:00 PM Pacific, 6:00 PM Eastern. Zoom info below:
