A few of the fantastic folks I've met in Sudbury are Pelvic Teachers, who instruct students of medicine, midwifery, and nursing in performing pelvic exams in a respectful and dignified manner. They're also making a zine. If you've ever had anything to say to the other end of the speculum, now's the time to share it. Look up F Word Zine on Facebook, or drop me a line since I seem to be helping out with this.
If you are interested in getting a copy once the zine is published (sometime before December hopefully), don't hesitate to contact me.
