Sex Ed with DB: smart, science-backed sex education

Endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 people assigned female at birth, including women, non-binary, and trans folks; however, the condition remains shrouded in stigma, leaving many people undiagnosed and in chronic pain. This needs to change. In this powerful episode of From First Period To Last Period, Rescripted Co-Founder Kristyn Hodgdon has a raw, open, and honest conversation about endometriosis with two women who have been there: Jacqueline Solivan, VP of Partnerships at Rescripted, and Emma Maxwell, a tireless endometriosis advocate. You won't want to miss it.

From First Period To Last Period, brought to you by Rescripted, is a science-backed health and wellness podcast dedicated to shining a light on all of the women's health topics that have long been considered taboo. Learn more here, and follow Rescripted on Instagram and TikTok.

The South comprises 38% of the U.S. population but it represents over half, yes over half at 52% of all new HIV diagnoses. Let me drop another stat on you. Out of the 17 states defined as being in the South by the U.S. Census; 13 of them have HIV-Specific Criminal Laws or Statutes on the books & 11 of them have actually prosecuted people for living with HIV. HIV Criminalization is still real. I'm sharing these stats because you need to know. I didn't know and we must change the pattern.
