Haven't seen anybody post this but how gender and sexuality is, schools are so fucking about straight mom and dad only relationship and nothing else. Man and wife bullshit when there's infinite amounts of gender and sexuality and diversity out there. Fuck I hate Amerikkka

I am from germany. Sex ed is not just manditory but also part of normal lessons all two years. The body, genetics, sex itself and how a baby is made and how protection and STDs work and which are there next to condom and pill

Funnily enought i wasnt present the whole male sex ed part so idk if they talked about queernes. Being in a psychiatric hospital they only had german, math, english, classes so litterly only the essentials

can you be more specific

What do you want more? This is pretty specific, what was taught to them about gender and sexuality, in particular that gender only exists in two forms, and no mention outside of heterosexuality. Pretty sure most of us had a similar experience in school about these subjects

Edit: downvoting until you reply. It's not intellectually honest to ask such a question and kite off
