I usually save the text of them before I hit "publish" just in case.<br /><br />Thank you for the compliment on my TV appearance. The negative bits are sometimes hard, but I think it still needs to be done by someone. Might as well be me.Julie Sondra Deckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755582329896793392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793202434796167753.post-81935076636008251982014-10-05T20:01:13.428-04:002014-10-05T20:01:13.428-04:00A belated thank you to you for this. :)A belated thank you to you for this. :)Julie Sondra Deckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755582329896793392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793202434796167753.post-53094205102228451572014-10-05T20:01:02.316-04:002014-10-05T20:01:02.316-04:00So glad you support me. :) I would love to see you...So glad you support me. :) I would love to see your writeup on "that's how we're born"--I don't like "born this way" philosophy for a couple reasons, and one of them is that it makes it seem like it's something shameful that we "can't help" and just need to be pitied for--plus I don't believe anyone is "born" a certain sexuality, and it dismisses the importance of personal experience and growth as well as fluidity, as if a certain experience in the world can only be legitimate if it is an innate quality that is part of your biology at birth.

The first one goes away a lot.<br /><br />Congratulations on the paperback!<br /><br />You're a natural on TV. It's great that you're out there spreading the awareness. I'm sure it's tough to deal with the negative parts of that though.Suzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502606950280751205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793202434796167753.post-34731273857477177752014-09-28T17:15:20.173-04:002014-09-28T17:15:20.173-04:00Congratulations on the paperback!!

So, next year, Fall 2015, my book is going to come out in paperback and get marketed to retail stores. Just like I wanted. YAHOO, it happened!"</i><br /><br />That is *amazing* and the thought of a book on asexuality sitting in a physical store where people can pick it up and browse through it is just stunning. Congratulations on that (and all the rest of the successes! :) I'm so grateful to you for writing the book and getting us to this point of visibility and mainstream recognition. <br /><br /><i>It attributes to me a quote of "That's how we're born," which is not something I have ever said or would say because I do not like "born this way" as an explanation for a variety of reasons.</i><br /><br />Glad I'm not the only one. There are a lot of issues with it. I've been meaning to do a post on it eventually. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
