Sara delivered this presentation at the Gender Infinity Conference in Houston just a few days after leaving her job to do Queer Sex Ed full time. Topics include: who gets left out of sex ed, expanding the scope of sex ed, and where our sexual scripts come from.

In preparation for our next episode about comprehensive sex ed, we wanted to share the audio of this presentation with you. Next week, we will dive even deeper into what comprehensive sex ed looks like and how we can make it happen.
