Meanwhile, I was also on a more personal journey: discovering and understanding my gender identity.

Sex Ed Reform: An Unfinished Business

People expect a lot of a sex ed document: it’s supposed to touch on a broad range of topics, including anatomy, gender, sexual intercourse, birth control, online safety, relationships, and bullying. Some of these are sensitive subjects. Ideally, the curriculum should capture the social realities facing today’s students, and prepare them for the world they live in.
