Reed’s Instagram has been suspended eight times (Picture: Reed Amber Thomas-Litman)Opening up Instagram, I was annoyed to find an alert pop up immediately. As a sex educator and sex worker, I understand that my content isn’t for everyone, but the work I do is important. I’ve posted pictures of everything from my nipple hair, cellulite to my shaving rash. And no-one’s body should be censored (Picture: Reed Amber Thomas-Litman)On the whole, the positivity massively exceeds the negative, says Reed (Picture: @reedamberx/Instagram)Of course, it wasn’t an overnight change, but I did start to have the confidence to stop seeking validation. We deserve to share this content (Picture: Reed Amber Thomas-Litman)That’s why when I am restricted, suspended or even banned from social media I get more than a bit peeved.
