Mentorship in Leather has never been casual, crowdsourced, or performative.
Historically, it has been intentional, accountable, and grounded in lived experience—passed from one generation to the next through teaching, example, and responsibility.
The Mentorship section of The Leather Sentinel exists to document and publish my personal mentorship writings while preserving the spirit in which mentorship was originally practiced: not to dictate identity, but to shape conduct.
This space is designed to:
Preserve Old Guard principles without freezing them in time
Acknowledge Neo Guard realities without discarding structure
Provide shared language where misunderstanding currently exists
Offer educational material that can be reflected upon—not weaponized
All mentorship articles published here are intended as guidance, analysis, and frameworks, not decrees. They are written for those who seek understanding, growth, and accountability within Leather culture.
In-depth mentorship writings exploring ethics, accountability, generational perspectives, and lived experience within Leather culture.
Principles designed to clarify language, restore alignment, and bridge Old Guard and Neo Guard perspectives.
A personal framework for self-reflection, accountability, and ethical growth within Leather culture.
Access printable mentorship resources, axioms, and frameworks for offline study and workshops.
