While I was exposed to the concept of feminism in high school, and took a Women's Studies 101 class in college, it wasn't until recently—maybe the last five years—that I've "come into" the feminism I subscribe to: one that centers sex workers, trans women, incarcerated folks, undocumented folks, disabled folks, the underserved, the underrepresented.
