Things I struggled with a lot as a queer sex educator part wev.

[commodorified]

... Trying to find gentle, affirming, respectful ways to remind people of all orientations and identities that life is always weirder than we think it's going to be and every sexual orientation and gender identity is valid, but none of them are a form of birth control.

Otherwise known as "why your doctor kept asking you about birth control even after you said you were a lesbian."

Tho they probably failed at gentle, affirming and respectful.

Oh babies ouch, this makes me so sad to read. We have GOT to do better about getting sex ed info to kids.

But I have totally done the "if I can just look straight enough everyone will totally stop asking me these questions" thing, so I know where they're coming from, poor little ducks.
