CW: Sexual assault, traumatic sexual health education experiences. gender dysphoria, dissociation.

This episode (one of Susie’s favorites) explores the realities of the experiences of queer folks throughout their traditionally cisgendered, heterosexually taught sex education. We also touch on kink, pleasure, safe sexual health practices for everyone, and how to have difficult conversations about sex with children. Is school the most conducive and safe location to have these intimate and potentially scary conversations?

Thank you to Will Leonard, Noah Waxman, Heather Corinna, and Jonathan Zimmerman for their participation in this episode. A spacial thank you to Noah and Will for sharing their personal knowledge and experience in sex education classes as queer individuals operating in overwhelmingly heterosexual and cisgender spaces.
