This is what I call “queer-informed education”—an education that aims to speak plainly about biology, eliminate shame around the body and bodily functions, teach careful decision-making for relationships and personal health, center consent and autonomy, and foster a practice of mutual care and respect for other types of bodies, orientations, and ways of being. I believe queerness, in its most expansive sense, has something to teach all of us, no matter how we identify.
