CW: Sexual assault, traumatic sexual health education experiences. gender dysphoria, dissociation.
This episode (one of Susie’s favorites) explores the realities of the experiences of queer folks throughout their traditionally cisgendered, heterosexually taught sex education. We also touch on kink, pleasure, safe sexual health practices for everyone, and how to have difficult conversations about sex with children. Is school the most conducive and safe location to have these intimate and potentially scary conversations?
Thank you to Will Leonard, Noah Waxman, Heather Corinna, and Jonathan Zimmerman for their participation in this episode. A spacial thank you to Noah and Will for sharing their personal knowledge and experience in sex education classes as queer individuals operating in overwhelmingly heterosexual and cisgender spaces.

CW: Conversations about sexual assault.
In the second episode of the series, Susie reflects on her own sex education experience as a model for how sex education is experienced by different people in incredibly different ways — even if those people are sitting in the same classroom. She speaks with someone who also went to her high school, and quotes others who also went to her school and reflects on her experience in conjunction with a conversation with Jonathan Zimmerman, who was introduced in Episode 1.
Thank you to Nick Kellogg for his participation in this episode.
