The curriculum surrounding sex education did not provide me, or other LGBT folk, with any knowledge or resources. This resulted in me identifying (unhappily) as male for THREE YEARS after i discovered transgender people. Because if I wasn't female, I MUST be male, right? More needs to be done about sex education in schools to help LGBT youth discover themselves. It won't make more kids gay/bi/trans, it'll make more kids themselves”

“Sex education on the national curriculum does not draw enough attention to sexual diversity and uses very cisnormative language, equating penises to being a man and vaginas to being a woman. Intersex people were never spoken of and trans issues remained hidden during the only discussion on LGBT issues (which consisted of PowerPoint with a slide of gay celebrities and a caption that read "these people are gay, do you feel any differently about them now you know this?" yes, really).
