I'm Elle, and I am the person behind More Reasons You Shouldn’t Fuck Kids, a blog on my experience as a survivor of sexual abuse.

I am a Transgender, Lesbian, Taiwanese American, disabled, Appalachian, no-wave Feminist, and eating-disordered poet from Berea, KY. My life has been a big mess, and that’s okay.

Pronoun preference: she, her.
