Kyla Pasha and Sarah Suhail have stirred up the blogosphere with the launch of Chay magazine — a publication about sex in Pakistani society, from a feminist and gender-inclusive perspective. "We at Chay magazine endeavor to bring to the Pakistani reading public a place to converse about those things we are most shy of," reads the magazine's mission statement. ITF chatted with Pasha about taboos, international feminism, and the reclaiming of pejorative words ("chay" is a polite euphemism for "chootia," an equivalent to "->-bleeped-<-").
