&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two weeks ago, I sat with &lt;a href="http://www.salon.com/writer/tracy_clark_flory/" target="_blank"&gt;Tracy Clark-Flory&lt;/a&gt; on a bench in the insanely busy San Francisco Ferry Building and talked about relationships. The number one piece of advice she’d give her younger self? “Don’t fake orgasms.” Clark-Flory explained that the major thing she learned from her early twenties was “the peril of prizing my partner’s pleasure over my own. It’s so unfulfilling and such a charade. What a waste of time! There was a lot of faking it, not just sexually but, like, trying to be the person that I thought they would like.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought it was advice worthy of an inspiration poster, so I created a design and silkscreened 40 of them with my talented friend Carson Smith. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do you want a DON’T FAKE ORGASMS poster of your very own?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Tell me the #1 relationship advice you’d give your 20-year-old self.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’ll pick my favorites to share and in exchange will mail you a signed and numbered poster for free!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Email me your advice-to-younger-self at mirk.sarah[at]gmail.com or tell me on &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/#!/sarahmirk" target="_blank"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;. Don’t be shy!  The prints come in an array of colors and are printed on construction paper, because we’re classy.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Trans people exist, are not ugly, are the gender they say they are, need support and respect, are human beings, aren’t your fetish objects or porn category, and it’s okay to be trans.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Porn can be really oppressive, and healthier…&lt;/li&gt;
