Invitations from the Land ~ Mediumship, Nature Spirits & Sacred Sound with Zaneta

In this enchanted, electric episode 65 of Medium Curious, Sarah and Jane sit down with Zaneta Sykes—interdisciplinary sound artist, spirit medium, and creator of Art Witch and Invitations from the Land—for a journey into what it really means to be in relationship with the living world. Zaneta shares how bullying pushed them away from drums and into science… until a clear, external voice at a jam session said, “Go to music school.” That single piece of guidance rerouted everything—ultimately weaving together percussion, environmental science, psychic work, and spirit mediumship into one luminous, decolonial, more-than-human path. They walk us through encounters that feel like myth but land like proof: a dream of a giant white fox, a real-life meeting with an Eastern coyote, barred owls arriving on cue, an aunt in spirit validated by banana pudding and horn-rimmed glasses, and a land conservancy “randomly” inviting Zaneta to create a full forest soundscape project. Along the way, they unpack mediumship as relationship, witch as wise listener, and why the Earth herself is calling more of us to become bridges. This conversation is wild, grounded, funny, reverent, glitchy (hi, energy surge), and full-body-truth level inspiring. Key Takeaways Mediumship is relationship, not performance. It's an ongoing, two-way conversation with ancestors, spirits of place, animals, elements, and the unseen. The Earth is calling mediums. Zaneta shares guidance from the woods: mediumship is how we remember ourselves as nature and undo the illusion of separation. Signs are specific, not vague. Banana pudding, iconic glasses, perfectly-timed owls—clear, weird details help us trust what comes through. Your path can be multimodal. Music, science, magic, ancestry, and activism don't have to compete; they braid into a single, truthful life. Reverence is a practice. Singing to forests, rivers, and beings of place is less aesthetics, more consent, respect, and genuine reciprocity. Not every spirit (or human) gets access. Discernment matters. You don't have to call in everyone, every time. Slow is holy. Returning to the same land again and again—listening instead of extracting—is medicine in a culture obsessed with speed and productivity. “Witch” is reclamation. For Zaneta, it honors persecuted healers, matriarchs, and wisdom keepers, and names power as interconnectedness, not domination. Mediumship expands capacity. As Sarah offers, connecting with Spirit stretches what we can hold—and gives others permission to expand too. “Mediumship is not a trick. It's a relationship.” “The Earth is calling people to be mediums—so we remember we are nature, not separate from it.” “Not every being wants to be called in. Consent exists in the spirit world, too.” “Witch, to me, is someone willing to address the suffering of the world with sacred, grounded care.” “Power isn't something we own. It's something that moves through all of us when we're listening.” Music courtesy of Chris Dingman Sound art courtesy of Zaneta: Sound Art Magic Art Witch Podcast Sound Art Magic Instagram Join us on Substack for The Afterlife—bonus clips after the “mic is off” (wink).

Friends, Lovers, Listeners. Happy Wednesday, Happy Hump Day and Happy Sex on the Peach Day. If you're tuning in to this episode, congratulations: you survived and thrived through Part One where we hopefully normalised and celebrated the incredible variety of what turns people on, and hopefully reminded you that curiousity, imagination, and pleasure come in countless forms, and now we're diving headfirst into N through Z. We'll explore everything from nylons to vampirism to electrostimulation. We'll cover praise kinks, because nothing says sexy like being told you're good…or very, very good. Some of it will surprise you, some of it might make you laugh, and that's ok, but we don't kink shame here - all of it exists in the wide, rich spectrum of human sexuality, where none of it is “wrong” or “abnormal.” As always, before we dive in: whilst this is a judgement-free space, it is a consent-first, judgement-free space. Consent, communication, respect and safety are non-negotiable. Anything non-consensual, exploitative, or illegal? Not included. Not acceptable. Not condoned. Not a thing. End of story.And just like Part One, because I did have people tell me I left x, y, z kink out…this episode is by no means an exhaustive list — there are countless other ways people experience desire, but I'm highlighting some of the more common, and some of the more unusual ones to celebrate the diversity of sexual expression. Going through every single one would take me about 200 hours worth of talking, which I'm sure probably counts as its own very niche endurance kink.Anyway, let's finish what we started shall we, and let's get into it - here is The A-Z Of Things You Can't Google At Work…Part 2.Sex On The Peach is a completely inclusive, open, judgement free zone. However you identify - both in your gender and sexuality, whatever race, age, size, ability, religion you are - everyone is welcome here, and I hope that at some point in an episode we will touch on something you can relate to and resonate with.Please like, follow, share, review and subscribe to stay in the loop of all future episodes, and you can also follow me on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube @sexonthepeachcast.

Jonathan Drake returns for The No Treason Podcast Ep. 6, continuing his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority. Picking up with Sections 8 through 15, Jonathan exposes how the secret ballot, far from being a safeguard of liberty, is actually a tool of tyranny, shielding voters from accountability while empowering what Spooner calls “a secret band of robbers and murderers.” He unpacks Spooner's dismantling of the notion of consent in governance, explaining how elections, oaths of office, and the Constitution itself fail every test of natural law. With sharp humor and vivid analogies, from pork smoking and squirrels teaching natural law to the absurdity of “oaths given to the wind”, Jonathan ties Spooner's 19th-century insights to modern politics and moral philosophy. It's a masterclass in understanding why secret governance and blind patriotism lead not to freedom, but to voluntary servitude.

163. Anne Marie Hauben: The Truth About Non-consent, Trauma, and Speaking Up

Sexual Assault Survivor Stories Podcast with Dave Markel Guest: Anne Marie Hauben I'm honored to share this week's episode of The SASS Podcast with someone whose courage doesn't just echo across a microphone—it reverberates across decades of silence, retaliation, and survival: Anne Marie Hauben. Anne Marie isn't just a guest. She is a truth-teller, an advocate, and a woman who refused to let a lifetime of dismissal define her story. After more than 30 years of carrying the weight of an assault she endured at 18 years old, she decided she would not stay silent any longer. And in doing so, she carved out a path of empowerment for survivors everywhere who feel trapped between trauma and the societal forces that try to suffocate their truth. This conversation is raw, urgent, and profoundly human. Who Is Anne Marie Hauben? • She is a survivor of a 1990 sexual assault, perpetrated during a senior trip to Bermuda when she was 18 and extremely intoxicated. The reported perpetrator was Ward, a former city councilor in Melrose, Massachusetts. (AnneHauben.com) • Anne Marie endured decades of silence shaped by shame, traumatic memory, lack of parental safety, and the fear that telling the truth would bring more harm than healing. (Written testimony) • In 2016 and again in 2018, she privately confronted her perpetrator through personal messages seeking accountability, remorse, or even acknowledgment. Both attempts were ignored; the second resulted in her being blocked. (Testimony) • In 2023, when her perpetrator ran for city council, her trauma was violently retraumatized and shoved back into the light. The anxiety, fear, flashbacks, and PTSD symptoms became overwhelming, forcing her to grapple with her past in a public way to protect herself, her community, and other survivors. (Testimony) • She ultimately sought legal guidance and published a public statement so voters would know who they were electing. Instead of support, she faced a wave of defamation threats, intimidation, and a coordinated effort by community members to discredit her. (Testimony) • Today, she is a vocal survivor-advocate pushing for reform in defamation law, accountability in local government, protections for survivors, and cultural change around how we respond to sexual violence. (AnneHauben.com) • She uses her platform, Amplified Voice Healing, to speak openly about her story, help other survivors reclaim their voice, and educate the public about the patterns of retaliation, shame, and silence that protect perpetrators. (AnneHauben.com) Why I Asked Anne Marie to Be on the Show • Because I'm committed to giving survivors a place where they're believed, respected, and heard—and Anne Marie has spent her entire adulthood being silenced and attacked for speaking the truth. • Because her experience is a masterclass in how systems, communities, and defamation laws are weaponized against survivors who dare to speak out. • Because she embodies the intersection of trauma neuroscience, public accountability, and the lived experience of surviving both assault and decades of retaliation. • Because her voice is needed. For college students. For mothers. For anyone grappling with whether they're "allowed" to speak. For every survivor who worries they'll be called a liar, crazy, or unstable simply for telling the truth. • Because her story is not just her own. It is woven from the same cloth as Chanel Miller, E. Jean Carroll, Christine Blasey Ford, and every survivor whose truth confronted a powerful man shielded by convenience and denial. What We'll Explore in This Episode • The assault itself: what Anne remembers from that night in Bermuda, what trauma did to her memory, and what the aftermath looked like for an 18-year-old trying to survive without support. • The neuroscience of delayed disclosure: why trauma keeps victims silent for years or decades—and how shame, fear, and protective forgetting shape a survivor's timeline. • Retaliation, defamation threats, and silencing: how community members, friends of the perpetrator, and public officials weaponized intimidation against her to shut down her voice. • Rape culture in action: what happens when a small-town political ecosystem decides that a man's reputation is worth more than a woman's truth. • Healing, advocacy, and finding purpose: how Anne turned her pain into public testimony, activism, and a platform for educating others about accountability and survivor protection. My Personal Reflection I want to acknowledge Anne Marie's courage. What she carried for three decades would have broken many people. Yet she continues to speak out with clarity, strength, and conviction, not just for herself but for every survivor who has been told to stay quiet. Listening to Anne Marie share her story so openly, and hearing the resilience and emotional labor it took to put her truth into the public square, is proof that SASS is a platform is for victims and survivors to be able to further their pursuit of justice and the commitment to normalize the conversation. Anne Marie's experience is not just recounting a traumatic event—she's exposing the machinery that keeps perpetrators safe and survivors silent. I'm grateful Anne chose to trust me with her story. I'm grateful my listeners get to learn from her, feel with her, and rethink what accountability truly looks like. And I'm truly proud to have had her on this show. Audience Takeaway • No survivor owes anyone immediate disclosure. Trauma rewrites the rules of time. • Anne's experience is both a warning and a call to action. Rape culture is not theoretical—it's lived every day in the systems that dismissed and attacked her. • If you are a survivor: you're not alone. Your timeline is valid. Your truth is yours to tell when you are ready. • If you are part of a community, a school, a department, or a justice system: please pay attention. These patterns repeat everywhere. Silence is the abuser's best friend. • And if you've ever wondered why survivors take years to speak: this episode will change the way you think about trauma forever. Anne Marie, thank you for standing up, speaking out, and refusing to keep your pain quiet. And to our SASS listeners: brace yourselves. This episode is powerful, necessary, and is one of those important conversations I regularly bring to the podcast to help normalize the conversation about rape and sexual assault.

In this week's episod, we arediving into a topic that isn't talked about enough: consent in spirituality. I'm breaking down why consent is so important in this work, how to ensure you're always asking before sharing or doing anything energetically, and why this simple act builds trust and integrity with your clients. We'll talk about what Reiki is and what I call Reiki "plus," which is anything you add to your Reiki sessions. If you're bringing in cards, messages, crystals, mediumship, or anything extra, you must ask for consent. I'm sharing my best practices for getting clear, informed consent in your sessions, along with my biggest pet peeves when it comes to how I see practitioners getting it wrong. This episode is a must-listen for anyone offering spiritual or energetic services, whether you're a Reiki practitioner, or reader of any kind.

Jonathan Drake continues his deep exploration of Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority by unpacking Sections 6 and 7, where Spooner exposes how the Constitution grants government agents “absolute and irresponsible power.” Jonathan examines the Speech and Debate Clause and its implications for unchecked authority, connecting it to modern examples like immunity for lawmakers and pharmaceutical companies. Through first principles and natural law, he explains how property rights, consent, and personal sovereignty intersect, and how the Constitution, as written, effectively transforms citizens into property of the state. With analogies ranging from tree service contracts to modern elections, Jonathan drives home how accountability was designed out of the system, leaving Americans with only the illusion of choice. The episode closes with Spooner's haunting observation that “a man is nonetheless a slave because he is allowed to choose a new master once in a term of years.” Insightful, challenging, and uncompromising, this installment lays bare the philosophical and moral contradictions at the heart of American governance.

In this episode of Pacific Ward, we dig into the foundational principles that make democracy legitimate — free will, shared power, and the consent of the governed. We take a direct look at how the current U.S. political system has allowed money and influence to overshadow public will, creating a democracy that too often listens to donors before citizens.But pointing out what's broken isn't enough.We need a vision for what could replace corruption with trust.So, we explore the Aloran Federation — a fictional yet practical blueprint for a future democracy grounded in accountability, collaboration, and flexibility. In this model, political parties must continually earn their place through real public support. No party can dominate. Systems are meant to evolve with the people, not against them. Authority is treated not as a prize — but as a privilege granted through consent.At the heart of this episode lies a belief both simple and powerful:Democracy survives only when the people hold real, continuous power to change their government.We examine why a healthy society must nurture a culture where trust is earned, leadership is accountable, and free will is protected — not just in law, but in everyday civic life.This isn't about tearing down democracy —it's about rebuilding its foundations so it can stand for generations to come.Join us as we imagine how democracy becomes worthy of its promise — when authority serves those who grant it.A better system isn't radical.It's responsible.

Introduction: In this episode, we are joined by Molly Whiteside, a psychology student at Nottingham Trent University, to discuss her recent research report, "Am I Being Served?" which explores emotional exploitation in the hospitality industry. With lived experience in the field, Molly delves into the prevalence of economic and verbal exploitation, unsafe working conditions, and the lack of psychological safety faced by young employees. We explore the surprising and often shocking findings from her research, which combines quantitative and qualitative data to paint a vivid picture of the challenges faced by 16-25 year olds in the workplace. From unfair pay and a lack of job security to the gendered nature of harassment, this episode uncovers the root causes of these issues and offers practical advice for young people, managers, and the industry as a whole. Show Notes: Welcome and an Unexpected Question (00:09 - 05:25): We welcome Molly Whiteside to the podcast and kick things off with our signature unexpected question: "What kind of person makes a good seat companion on an aeroplane?". The Motivation Behind the Research (05:26 - 07:50): Molly explains what prompted her to research emotional exploitation in the hospitality industry, drawing from her personal experiences and observations of a lack of psychological safety in the workplace. Surprising Findings and Statistics (07:51 - 12:01): We dive into the most surprising findings from Molly's research, including the high prevalence of exploitation, with around 70% of people having experienced some form of it. We also discuss the demographic focus of the survey, which was on 16 to 25-year-olds. Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data (12:02 - 16:25): Molly breaks down the differences between what the numbers and the stories revealed. While quantitative data showed middle-of-the-road satisfaction with treatment, the qualitative data uncovered a wealth of personal experiences, particularly highlighting the different types of exploitation faced by women compared to men. Job Security, Pay, and Communication (16:26 - 19:56): We explore the statistics around job security, with 35% of participants feeling confident they wouldn't be unfairly dismissed, but 10% feeling the complete opposite. Molly also touches on the disconnect between employees feeling comfortable talking to colleagues but not managers. Recommendations for a Better Workplace (19:57 - 23:43): Molly offers actionable recommendations for young people, managers, and the hospitality industry as a whole. For young people, it's about education and knowing your rights. For employers, it's about creating psychological safety and not letting biases control employee treatment. For the industry, it's a call for more robust policies and training, especially in smaller businesses. What's Next for Molly? (23:44 - 26:12): Molly shares her exciting future plans, including her role in the "Women in Business" society, becoming a "Consent is Everything" workshop facilitator, and starting her own podcast aimed at students. Wrapping Up (26:13 - 28:00): We thank Molly for her invaluable contributions to the podcast and her work with us.

What happens when a for-profit giant "helps" nonprofits without asking first? Spoiler: chaos, confusion, and a lot of angry fundraisers. In this episode, I sat down with my good friend and fundraising pro, Ephraim Gopin of 1832 Communications, to unpack the wild story of GoFundMe auto-creating donation pages for 1.4 million nonprofits — without their consent. Real Listener Question: "What do we do if our nonprofit suddenly has a GoFundMe page we didn't create? Is that even legal?" When news broke that GoFundMe scraped IRS data to create "official" donation pages for nonprofits, my inbox blew up. In this episode, Ephraim and I dig into what this means for your organization — from donor confusion to legal implications — and why this so-called "help" might do more harm than good. We cover everything from the basics of what a good donation page should look like, to why this move could affect your nonprofit's SEO, compliance status, and even your donor relationships. What You'll Learn: What a solid, conversion-ready donation page really needs Why GoFundMe's "auto-created" nonprofit pages are a huge problem How this affects your branding, donor data, and trust Why accepting those donations could mess with your state fundraising compliance Whether you should claim your page, delete it, or ignore it entirely How big platforms exploit "helping nonprofits" to make a profit And what to do right now if your org was affected Bottom line: Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's ethical. Nonprofits deserve respect — not to be treated like SEO bait. Whether you're claiming or deleting your GoFundMe page, make sure the donations that come in are on your terms.

Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Lysander Spooner's No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority, dissecting sections four and five with philosophical precision and relatable humor. Building on Spooner's radical claim that the U.S. Constitution was never a binding contract, Drake explores what truly defines consent under natural law, examining why writing, signing, and delivery are essential for legitimacy. Using vivid examples and biblical parallels, he unpacks how even everyday receipts and legal signatures reflect the moral order embedded in human nature. Along the way, Jonathan weaves in live chat commentary, Nietzsche quotes, and a playful nod to comedian Mitch Hedberg to highlight the absurdity of modern governance. From Spooner's critique of government authority to Drake's reflections on morality, faith, and free will, this episode challenges listeners to rethink what it really means to “consent to be governed.”

In this illuminating episode of Open Deeply, hosts Sunny Megatron and Kate Loree dive into the groundbreaking work of Dr. Betty Martin, creator of The Wheel of Consent—a framework that has transformed how people understand giving, receiving, and the subtle power dynamics within touch, communication, and pleasure. Together, we explore how the Wheel challenges our cultural assumptions about consent, revealing that true consent isn't just about saying “yes” or “no”—it's about learning who it's for, what we actually want, and how to stay connected to our body's truth in every interaction. Dr. Martin shares the personal and professional experiences that inspired her to create this model and offers practical tools for anyone wishing to live more in alignment with consent—whether in intimate encounters, friendships, workplaces, or everyday exchanges. The conversation also delves into: • How to unlearn social conditioning that teaches us to please or freeze • Using the Wheel as a trauma-informed path toward nervous system regulation and safety in receiving • Exploring desire and arousal beyond shame while maintaining clear ethical boundaries • How consent work intersects with equity, privilege, and dismantling domination patterns So please join us as we once again dare to Open Deeply. Betty Martin's Bio: Dr. Betty Martin has had her hands on people professionally for over 40 years. After retiring from being a Chiropractor, she became a certified Surrogate Partner and Somatic Sex Educator. Her explorations in somatic-based therapy and practices informed her creation of the now famous, Wheel of Consent. Betty developed the training "Like a Pro: The Wheel of Consent for Professionals", to support practitioners to create empowered agreements in their client sessions. Originally developed to teach consent skills to sex workers and touch providers, the training is now attended by somatic therapists, sexuality educators, medical and health care workers, activists, and the spectrum of touch-based professional providers. It starts with touch and expands into all forms of human relating.

What happens when surrender becomes sacred? When boundaries are not barriers—but bridges to deeper intimacy? Meet one of the most influential voices in modern kink culture. Janet Hardy is today's guest. She's the co-author of the revolutionary The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures and Radical Ecstasy: SM Journeys to Transcendence … to name just two of her books. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Listeners of The Weekly Hot Spot podcast, sent in a lot of questions and inspired this intimate conversation.Topics include:The intersections of power, pain, love and liberation.Myths and fears about ethical non-monogamy in kink spaces.Details about the new Workbook for The Ethical Slut.When Janet shares about how real change begins with honest self-inquiry, not permission from others, all three women talk about claiming their own personal erotic power. What does it mean to really choose who you are in your relationships? And, what is beyond tolerating a relationship. Hint: it's not always easy or safe to open up to this view of love and pleasure.  Janet talks about building emotional resilience when having these vulnerable conversations.You'll hear Mistress Olivia's personal reflection on how Radical Ecstasy transformed her understanding of Dominance and submission — not as control, but as co-created surrender. “Pain is not the goal. Surrender is.” That one line shifted everything. Together, they explore how power exchange is one of the most intimate acts we're capable of — a dance where trust becomes tangible, and vulnerability becomes strength.We also tackle real listener questions:A trans woman shares her experience of feeling Dominant with male partners and submissive with female ones — is this a known dynamic? Janet offers thoughtful insight into gendered power dynamics and erotic archetypes.For the nervous beginner — especially the "vanilla wife" being asked to step into Dominance — what are the real fears women face? Spoiler: It's not about lack of interest. It's about responsibility, judgment, and the weight of expectation.And then… the eternal debate: Who's really in control — the Domme or the sub? Janet's answer may surprise you. (Hint: It's not a power struggle — it's a paradox.)Finally, for those walking the spiritual edge of kink, we explore how to distinguish emotional overwhelm from authentic spiritual surrender — because not every tear in a scene is transcendence. Some are signals. Learning the difference? That's where true mastery begins.This episode isn't just for kinksters. It's for anyone who's ever loved deeply, feared openly, or longed to be seen. It's about coming into power — not over others, but within yourself.Janet Hardy WebsiteThe Ethical SlutRadical EcstasyMistress Olivia's blog:  Experienced Mistressolivia@enchantrixempire.comMistress Erika's blog: Intelligent Phone Fantasyerika@enchantrixempire.comDISCORD: LDWOlivia and LDWErika

In 2018, a victim by the alias, ‘EM' meets a Junior hockey player at a bar who invites her to spend the night with him. She consents to having intimate relations with this singular player. By the next morning, EM survives a gang assault at the hands of 10 to 16 other players that the original player had invited back to the hotel room without EM knowing. She would go onto testify about these events seven years later in 2025. Only five of the men get charged and go to trial.All five of the men are found not guilty. The case divides basically all of North America and women begin coming forward with their own stories including one that seemingly involves the original player who invited his teammates to the hotel room. Could it all be connected? One thing is for sure: all of these cases of alleged gang assault involve players from the Junior hockey league, aka the ones with the ‘Bible' on how to assault women. This is part two of Canada's continuous gang assault scandals.   Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

From swinging to polyamory to kink, we unpack the myths, labels, and lived realities behind open relationships. Kelvin explains why communication and consent—not structure—define success, and why non-monogamous relationships can often be just as loving and committed as traditional ones.

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:This episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast features host Ali in an in-depth, compassionate conversation with Darshana Avila, a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner, and sexological bodyworker known for her appearance on Sex, Love & Goop. Together, they explore the intersections of sexuality, embodiment, grief, and healing, discussing how slowing down, attuning to one's body, and embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connection and erotic wholeness. Darshana explains her integrative approach to sexological bodywork—helping clients safely explore pleasure, boundaries, and self-awareness—as well as the broader cultural conditioning that fuels shame, inhibition, and disconnection. Touching on topics from trauma and consent to the cultural devaluation of grief and sensuality, the conversation becomes a profound reflection on how reclaiming our embodied erotic selves is both personal healing and social activism, ultimately a journey toward fuller, freer, and more loving humanityFOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE DARSHANA AVILA:BIO:Darshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner and international speaker who helps people reconnect with the most essential aspects of themselves — their truth, their desires, and their capacity for authentic connection. Known for her grounded, candid, and relational approach, she bridges the worlds of embodiment, emotional intelligence, and personal agency with depth and accessibility.Darshana's work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and numerous leading podcasts including the most downloaded episode of Shameless Sex Podcast in 2024, the goop Podcast and the Sexology Podcast. PROMO LINKdarshanaavila.com (depending on the release date, we might ask that you feature her upcoming retreat darshanaavila.com/radical-rejuvenation)SOCIAL HANDLESinstagram.com/darshana_avilayoutube.com/@darshana-avilalinkedin.com/in/darshana-avilaskool.com/galgasmOTHER RESOURCES, LINKS AND INSPIRATIONS:Betty Martin's The Brilliant Body Podcast episode: The Receiving and Giving Body with Dr Betty Martin, Creator of The Wheel of ConsentLike A Pro: Training for touch professionalsTHE WHEEL OF CONSENT explainedGwyneth Paltrow's SEX, LOVE and GOOPSexological BodyworkCis-women definition: a woman whose gender identity aligns with the sex she was assigned at birth, which was female.
