Amber, in the comments at So..What’s Next?!?:
Anyone who thinks my interest in and passion for sexuality and sexual freedom limits my credibility as a podcasting expert (not that I would call myself an “expert,” but I’m short on time right now and can’t think of a more appropriate word) is not someone I am interested in sharing my knowledge with.
Could not have said it better myself. I used to worry a lot more than I do now about whether saying something someone potentially might find offensive would lead to lost opportunities (business, activism, friendship or whatever). If I’ve learned anything, it’s that those people aren’t worth my time, no matter how good the opportunity seems on its face.
I do realize it’s a luxury — a privilege even — to be able to say that. I feel very fortunate to be in a position where I can tell people to kindly fuck off if they’re going to be judgmental.
