Looking for accurate, truly comprehensive, queer and trans-led sex ed? Start with Scarleteen’s seven must-reads for the first week of Pride.
Scarleteen has been providing accurate, inclusive, joyful, sensitive, trans and queer-led sex, health, and relationships education since 1998. Here, we celebrate Pride 365 days a year, with our thousands of articles written by and for queer and trans folks, rooted in the diversity, joy, and real life experiences of queer and trans communities. Celebrating Pride year-round means not treating queer and trans experiences as a sidebar or a “special topic.” They’re woven into everything we offer, from anatomy and safer sex deep dives to dating advice and content on consent, dysphoria, communication, and mental health. “Queer sex ed for all” isn’t just our tagline, it’s our whole approach.
If you’ve ever wished sex ed talked about things like, “Do asexual people have sex?”, “Could I be intersex?”, “How do I subvert or opt out of crummy gender roles?”, “What’s gender all about?”, "How do I know if I'm queer?" or “Is what I’m feeling something someone else has experienced?” these articles and series are a solid place to start:
Genderpalooza! A Sex & Gender Primer The Rainbow Connection: Orientation for Everyone Axis of Autism: Being Autistic, Lesbian and Genderfluid Unveiling Amatonormativity: Notes From the Books and the Field Could I Be Intersex? Just the Basics, Ace: An Asexuality Primer Hi, Bi Guy (Series)
The seven must-reads are a good on-ramp, and then you can go down whatever rabbit hole you’d like on our website <3 Save this for later, share it with a friend, and tell us, what topic do you wish you had found sooner?
Happy Pride month, besties!
