Write about sex/porn, STIs, discrimination, sociology, statistics, fat acceptance, and acceptance in general. Get it all in there. I don't understand why you say you feel like a fraud for these topics - they may not be popular, but there's nothing fraudulent about your opinions. Blogging, I think, must be worth it simply for the writing. If some level of positive feedback, notoriety, or monetary reward is the drive, most of us will end up unhappy with the whole thing. But, if it's enough just to put your ideas out there, then blogging achieves that easily. Is blogging about this worth it? Will constantly fighting against current wisdom be a worthy struggle for me? Wouldnt my life just be happier if I accepted the status quo and stopped fighting? I say no, as much pain and grief it would give me. I don’t see any reason you can’t broaden your topics.
