S*x Ed Spotlight ✨

Social media can be a great conversation starter when talking with young people about s*xual health. Young people spend a good amount of time scrolling through various social media platforms and are constantly bombarded with information. It is important to discuss with them what they are seeing on the platforms that they use because it can clue you in on what they know/have heard and their attitude about s*xual health.

It can also be a great way to correct any mis- or dis- information that they are being shown and direct them to content creators and organizations that provide accurate s*xual health information.

October is Let's Talk Month!

That’s it, that’s the post 💯‼️

Happy Inters*x Awareness Day! 💜💛

Today is a day that marks the first public demonstration by inters*x people in the United States and is a call to action to end shame, secrecy and non-consensual g*nital cosmetic surgeries on inters*x children.

Inters*x is an umbrella term for variations in reproductive or s*x anatomy. Variations can appear in a person's chromosomes, hormones, g*nitals or internal organs like the te**es and ovaries. Inters*x characteristics can be identified at birth but may not be discovered until puberty or later in life.

Inters*x people are often forgotten in conversations about identity, gender and s*xuality. It is important to educate yourself on inters*x identities and affirm inters*x people.
