"This Is My Body" Excerpted in German Book
/Got an exciting request today:
A Dr. working at the Institute for Queer Theory in Berlin requested permission to use an excerpt of the script from my film, This Is My Body (co-created by Siobhan O'Loughlin).
The book is currently titled "Global Justice and Desire: Queering Economy" and is being published by Routledge.
This is super exciting! This is what it's all about - connecting with people via my work, having an effect on people.
Here's the excerpt that's going to be used:
"This is my body. I do what I want with it.
This is my body. I make my own choices.
This is my body. I use it as a canvas,
tattoo it, decorate it, and pierce it.
I take medicine if I want to and only undergo medical procedures I choose.
I eat what I want, exercise for my health, and wear what I like.
I fall in love with whomever,
fuck/sleep with whomever and marry whomever I choose.
I decide when and how to become a mother.
This is my body, not yours."
