Activist MAP ally and former AAM. I knew I was interested in sex from age ten from reading about it, and never bought into the idea that I couldn't decide what I wanted to do with my own body. When I first discovered the existence of age of consent laws at seventeen by reading a debate about them, they simply seemed ridiculous to me. A few months earlier I'd been propositioned by a twenty-one year old and "molested" is the furthest thing from how it made me feel!
