I am beyond the point of tolerating sexualizing comments on my channel. Offending users are banned.

It makes me feel sick because I don't think deletion/banning solves any problems, but I really can't handle it anymore.

And I'm not going to avoid reading the comments because the majority of my audience does a great job of having thoughtful conversations.

I have 91 videos, 9 hours of high quality educational content on YouTube and I will absolutely not stand for being treated like an object.

Doesn't matter the breadth or scope of your work, nobody deserves that – I just feel like I tolerated it for far longer than needed.

I probably need to write a longer post about this, but since Twitter is listening: not a day goes by I don't deal with harassment.

The last 2 weeks I've had to deal with the police against stalkers and felt like I can't walk a few blocks without looking over my shoulder.

We put so much into our program and the last thing I need is to feel paranoid because my face is associated with camera time.

Harassment, whether or not it happens exclusively online, is not tolerated. We won't stand for it, & we'll take necessary action to stop it.

I know I'm preaching to the choir. Wherever you are in the world I feel your support, and I appreciate it more than you could know.
