Riley shares how their own understanding of their identity is still in progress.

Mo shares their own journey in understanding their sexual orientation, including how a certain cult classic brought them clarity.

Jack talks about the process of figuring out their queer identity.

We explore the dark history of the foundations of surgical gynecology and its “father”, J. Marion Sims, inventor of the vaginal speculum, who performed experiments on enslaved women without anaesthesia in the mid-1800’s, and learn about the ways in which the legacy of racism and sexualization towards black folks has persisted and developed to have a measurable effect on health outcomes.

Hello! You’re dealing with a situation that’s very familiar for many teenagers (and ex-teenagers like myself): You’re growing into your body and…you’re not sure how you feel about it. But just because this is a common stage of human development doesn’t mean you need to sit in silence, and I’m so…

While you may not be thinking about surgery for quite a while (or ever!), it helps to be informed.

So you’re ready to start talking openly about your gender, and you want to come out of the shadows and live as yourself.

So you’ve thought about sex and gender and all that good stuff and a little bird is telling you that you might be trans. But how do you know?

We’re going to go in deep on sex, gender, and identity in this installment of Trans Summer School.

Experiencing a little gender confusion? We know the feeling. In Trans Summer School, we’ll give you the big scoop about trans and otherwise gender nonconforming people, and answer your questions about the wide world of gender.
