In conjunction with a panel discussion I will be a part of at Momentum 2012, here are many links that relate to the issue of sexual abuse, assault and rape in the sex-positive, queer and bdsm communities. I talk about my own experience with this situation in posts labeled “assault” if you’d like to find my posts on this blog (see the category list in the sidebar). Please feel free to email or leave comments with links to other resources.
