Hi Sharon.
First, thanks for reading and responding to my own poem just now.
I quickly headed to your Medium page and this post immediately jumped out at me. I highlighted every example you gave, Sharon, nodding my head in support all the way.
I want to say: what is wrong with our world? But I know the answer: White, Old, Straight, Rich or wannabe rich, Conservative, Insecure in so many ways, Men and sadly sometimes, Women saying: “Everyone needs to look like me”
Um. No. No they do not.
