After a long hiatus, we are thrilled to announce the return of Project TEASE, now an adopted daughter project of Feathers and Ice LLC. This relaunch is not just a rebranding; it's a powerful commitment to addressing the critical intersection of disability and sexuality. Let’s dive into what makes Project TEASE so essential and how it aims to transform lives through education, advocacy, and community.
The statistics speak volumes: there are 27 million women with disabilities in the United States alone, a number larger than the combined populations of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Despite these significant numbers, women with disabilities face a myriad of challenges regarding their sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Current sex education often fails to provide accurate, inclusive information tailored to their needs. Many encounter physical and economic barriers to accessing healthcare, and there are few social activities or opportunities for policy advocacy tailored to their unique experiences.
Project TEASE was born out of this urgent need. It aims to bridge the gap in SRH education for women with disabilities, fostering a transparent, evolved, authentic, and self-expressive sexual identity. By empowering these women, Project TEASE not only addresses their immediate health needs but also champions their right to live fulfilling, expressive lives.
Project TEASE stands for Transparent, Evolved, Authentic, Self-Expressive. It’s a platform designed to empower women with disabilities by providing comprehensive, accessible information and resources about their sexual health and well-being.
Here’s what you can expect from this revitalized project:
♡ Educational Resources: Project TEASE offers detailed descriptions of female and male sex organs, hygiene tips, dating and relationship advice, and comprehensive information about STIs and STDs. The platform also provides specific guidance for those with spinal cord injuries and other disabilities that affect tactile or neural processing.
♡ Advocacy and Collaboration: The project creates opportunities for women with disabilities to work with policymakers, researchers, and educational boards. By using their unique voices, these women can help reorganize the bounds of independent living and advocate for more inclusive policies and practices.
♡ Community and Support: Project TEASE connects women with disabilities to local, state, and federal organizations, fostering a supportive community where they can discuss their sexuality, either discretely or publicly. This forum helps educate the public about disability and sexuality, breaking down barriers and misconceptions.
♡ Comprehensive Guides: From losing virginity and understanding contraception to exploring kink and alternative sex, Project TEASE provides a wide range of information tailored to the needs of women with disabilities. This includes tips for navigating restrictive sex positions and managing chronic pain during sexual activities.
To complement the wealth of resources offered by Project TEASE, we are excited to introduce our new blog, "TEASE the Day." This blog will be a vibrant space where we share insights, stories, and expert advice on disability and sexuality.
Here's what you can look forward to:
♡ Daily Inspiration: Our blog will feature daily posts that inspire and empower our readers, helping them embrace their authentic selves.
♡ Expert Insights: We’ll bring you articles from experts in the field of sexual health and disability, providing valuable information and perspectives.
♡ Personal Stories: Hear from women with disabilities as they share their journeys, challenges, and triumphs in navigating their sexual health and identities.
♡ Interactive Content: Engage with us through polls, Q&A sessions, and interactive content that allows you to share your experiences and learn from others.
The rebranding and restart of Project TEASE come at a pivotal moment. There’s a growing recognition of the importance of inclusive sex education and the unique challenges faced by women with disabilities. By relaunching Project TEASE, we’re not only addressing an underserved population but also paving the way for a more inclusive and understanding society.
We invite you to join us as we rebuild and enhance Project TEASE. Over the next seven days, we will feature a series of Disability & Sexuality (D&S) blogs that delve deep into these crucial topics. Each post will offer valuable insights, resources, and inspiration to empower and educate.
Project TEASE is more than just a project; it’s a movement towards a more inclusive, supportive, and educated society. Let’s celebrate self-expression, exploration, and empowerment together!
Stay tuned for our upcoming blogs and be part of this exciting journey.
