Governor DeSantis,
Please explain how requiring vaccination disclosure is a violation of privacy, but requiring student athletes to submit menstrual data (information about tissue & blood exiting their vagina) isn't.
Signed,
A confused parent and educator

Conservatives don’t want kids “corrupted” by sex ed in schools, so they deny them any information about consent, boundary setting, harm reduction and how to form healthy relationships, & send them home to get their questions answered by PornHub

WANT TO RAISE YOUR KIDS TO RESTORE ABORTION RIGHTS WHEN THEY GROW UP?
START TEACHING THEM ABOUT BODILY AUTONOMY AND CONSENT TODAY!

Many think the “first time” having penetrative vaginal sex will necessarily hurt, be scary, embarrassing & bloody. WRONG.
These deeply entrenched expectations simply serve to discourage sexual behavior, encourage negative experiences, and punish people for being sexual. (1/7)

Instead, let’s set the bar high. Let’s tell all people that they deserve the most pleasurable and fulfilling sexual experiences - in which they feel safe, respected, supported, in control, and able to advocate for their wants, needs and boundaries. (6/7)

You shouldn’t feel punished for being sexual and no one should settle for bad sex - especially their first time. (7/7)

You know you’re a sex educator when you explain St. Patrick’s Day to your six-year-old, and instead of agreeing to wear green, they look at you with serious concern and launch into a 5 minute monologue about consent.
I’ll call that a win🍀

A friendly reminder that your booty is beautiful; take some time today to appreciate how it looks, feels, moves, and jiggles.
Celebrating and finding pleasure in your body is your birthright.
I hope you (and your booty) have a wonderful day!

Touch your breasts & chests.
Touch your balls.
Get to know what’s normal!
One of the most important reasons to get to know your body is to learn how your body experiences sensation and touch. (1/7)

▪️Touch yourself (all over) to become familiar with how things look and feel
▪️Note when things feel well & good (to establish a baseline sense of your body’s “normal”), but also note when there’s pain or things just don’t feel right (6/7)

▪️View your relationships with your care providers as partnerships. Feel empowered to be the expert who consults with them when you think you need care
We deserve to live happy lives. Knowledge of our bodies and our pleasure are important tools to help us on the journey. (7/7)

With so much conversation about “finding the love of your life”, we can be fooled into thinking that finding a perfect partner is all you need in order to have the perfect relationship.
If only it were that easy!

If your relationship sometimes feels like work, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed; it means there’s an opportunity for you and your partner(s) to work together to address the challenge and repair the harm done. Navigating challenges together strengthens relationships. (6/7)

When feeling upset/anger/sadness, ask yourself: am I viewing my partner as an opponent or a team member? Learning to productively navigate rough spots makes relationships stronger and more fulfilling.
You deserve great relationships and you get to build them as you wish! (7/7)
