When The Stigma Is Worse Than The STI
Description
TLDR: Kee's hanging up her jeans, our first tornado and Lucy's frozen feet.
How common is herpes, really? Why does no one talk about STIs? And where does the stigma even come from? This week, Kee and Lucy assure anon that her world is NOT ending and how a marketing decision in the 70s changed everything.
This episode discusses themes around body image. If you or someone you know is struggling, please call Butterfly Foundation's national hotline on 1800 ED HOPE.
