For anyone (esp. women-identified people) raised in a sexually shame-based atmosphere, a new resource is available. Linda Kaye Klein, the author of PURE: Inside the Evangelical Movement That Shamed a Generation and How I Broke Free has released a 15-minute digital recording of gentle music and excerpts from interviews from the book. It is designed to help listeners break free from their own shame. [m.soundcloud.com]

His Mother told him , he couldn't because there would be no male to carry on the family name , so he decided to have a son . He got Mom pregnant . I was born female . Mom asked his what to name me , as they hadn't even picked out a female name . He says , we picked out a name , name her that anyhow . Johnny Cash wrote a song about the boy named Sue . Yeah , same thing , only in reverse . Year and a half later he had the son he wanted . He should have quite while he was ahead .

UUNJ:
I’m the third daughter. They wanted to name me Jaimie but figured everyone would think they expected a boy. They named me after Scarlett’s sister in Gone With The Wind, which I thought was fine until mom said, “We named you after the wimpy sister.” WTF? Sometimes those offhand comments can dig deep.
Worth while if you are still locked in that mind frame

UUNJ:
Yay! I was lucky to be raised by sex-positive parents but many people were not. And the Purity Movement was and remains damaging for those involved.
@UUNJ my grandparents weren't sex positive or negative... They were educated and protective... Their motto was "no need to rush. " .. They were very smart and open minded...
