K Tempest Tumbles

I'm K. Tempest Bradford, a writer, blogger, tech geek, and all around nerd. I'm such a big science fiction/fantasy/speculative fiction fan that I even write it (I know, pretty hard core!).

I have a non-Tumblr blog and that's where the majority of my long-form posts go. This blog is for my more fannish activities, link sharing, and squeeness.

I’ve been harassed by strangers on trains and buses, told to “show my tits” by workers on construction sites, labelled as a “slut” by men I wouldn’t sleep with… the list goes on.

I’ve never been raped or physically hurt, but I feel safe in saying I’ve definitely been a victim, and I’d be very surprised if there are women out there who haven’t. 

I’m not going to go into details, but yes. And I think this kind of visibility is important if people feel safe sharing.
