Hot take from a Lesbian™: I don't care if corrective rape was coined to describe a lesbian experience. If anyone else is raped with the intention of 'correcting' their sexuality it's worth acknowledging and talking about, especially if it's a common experience among those of a certain orientation. Our hearts should go out to these victims. That people are shutting these experiences down for the sake of online discourse is morally abhorrent.

She rips at my vocal cords, all dissonance; she is an apocalyptic sonata conceived among the champagne bubbles of my brain, raised on flurrying thought soup — the hag is wasted. She chugs brain chemicals from iridescent shot glasses with thick bottoms she smashes against my ribcage; the hag needs more. She is screeching, clawing at my diaphragm I cradle the bulk of her head where it burns beneath my skin.”
