themightypenn hasn't added a story.
For years, themightypenn has promoted education, body positivity, and acceptance in the BDSM community through his blog on Tumblr and through the people he interacted with. He believes in the values of safe and consenual practices and protecting minors from exposure to adult spaces. Penn describes himself as polyamorous and pansexual.
In 2016, Penn's ex-wife discovered that Penn had been involved in a relationship with his roommates, who are in an open relationship. She began to restrict Penn's access to his children by picking them up early from their daycare or changing plans at the last minute. She made her objection clear - she did not agree with the children being around a woman and a transgendered man who were polyamorous.
Eventually, when Penn would not throw out his roommates to satisfy her demands, a motion was filed in family court for emergency custody on the grounds that Penn was living an "immoral" lifestyle that is harmful to his children. Previously private accounts were stalked, and Penn was forced to shut down all social media including his popular Tumblr blog.
Even with stable employment, hiring an attorney to defend his rights has been a massive financial burden on him. Without help, there's no way he can keep this up over a long custody battle. We need your help to make sure that this kind of backwards, closed-minded thinking doesn't keep his kids away from him.
Your donation will go directly to paying the legal fees (retainer, court fees, etc) for the custody case, and additional funds beyond that will go to assist Penn's roommates in securing temporary housing for the duration of the case.
Penn and the roommates understand that the kids are young. They are still learning about life after their parents split, and there is nothing inappropriate or unsafe in their father's home. He cares about them and wants to teach them acceptance, how to be kind to all people, and how to stop the cycles of stigma and exclusion.
Please help. Spread the word, share the link to this campaign, and donate. Anything helps.
