Thank you so much for that.
When I go to AIDS clinics, just as an example, they have a huge problem getting people to come in and get tested and have conversations, because of the stigma. AIDS is an entirely manageable condition. It's a chronic condition. It doesn't have to be a death sentence. We want people to get care.
On even a more granular basis, how many kids.... We look at teen suicide around sexual identity issues, and shame has led to terrible outcomes. I can say that the lack of conversations around sex in my own household was incredibly damaging. When sexual violence was visited upon my family—and we didn't talk about sex in our household—that was incredibly damaging and left me very confused about sex.
Having a broader conversation in this country about sex and sexuality, and sexual health and sexual autonomy, is critically important, and I hope it's part of the conversation that we'll have as we're talking about contraceptives.
