Learn about the physical aftermath of sexual trauma, and what the research shows about some of sexual trauma’s long-term effects.

Women who had to, or chose to, dress as men to access masculine environments to follow their calling are often overlooked in history. Enter the book Let Me Be Frank: A Book About Women Who Dressed Like Men to Do Shit They Weren’t Supposed to Do by Tracy Dawson, who talks here with Gabriel Leão.

If humans could learn to honor the wisdom coming through our bodies as children and understand every body is unique I think we could transform our society.

Part two of a series on vaginal trainers, on the specifics of using them, from Caitlyn Tivy, a pelvic health physical therapist and health writer.

Dilators—or vaginal trainers—are pelvic health devices. If a clinician has recommended them or you’re simply curious, start here for basic information!

A guide to finding queer media, even when it feels hard.

I am now no longer our only director, and it’s unlikely anyone here will ever be on their own in that way again, which is so awesome I might literally implode with joy and relief. Scarleteen now, and hopefully evermore, operates as a multi-generational co-directorship, built in such a way that utilizes all of our unique skills, shared abilities, and collective dedication and talent.

For all the body positivity of our modern era, we still don’t hear many public conversations about periods. In many parts of the world, people are and have long been cut off from resources and education about periods: and the more marginalized the person, the more cut off they’ve usually been. Let’s have an honest discussion about what periods are, some of the unique challenges that transmasculine people who menstruate can grapple with, and how to address them.

Britain’s Quintimacy is a space that intends to cultivate queer intimacy through trauma-informed and embodied connection. In an interview with Scarleteen, founder Beck Thom talks about their working frameworks, sex ed in the UK, what they do at Quintimacy and the need to better educate people, including children and teenagers, about trauma and consent.

When it comes to our bodies and feeling good in them, it’s usually better to listen and respond to what they are telling us than to tell them what to do.

This week, with the folks at EducateUS, we’re reflecting on “Queer Sex Ed For All” as a mission, a slogan and rallying-cry which originated with us in 2017.

I’ve written a piece like this three times now. Every time I wrote one, I hoped with everything in me it would be the last time. That the people attacking trans youth and their families for political gain would get bored, or would see that their actions were only met with resistance and scorn. I…

We’re big fans of young people taking sex ed into their own hands. So, it’s no surprise we were thrilled to interview Tara Michaela, who founded the Youth Sexpert Program (YSP) when she was nineteen.

Other people had to have been struggling with this, right?

Caos.a (a play with the word “Causa”, Portuguese for “Cause”) began during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, and was created by television host Barbara Thomaz, with professor Ana Sharp, lawyer Natália Veroneze, advertising pro Flávia Zaparoli and actress Maira Dvorek. Gabriel Leão is here to tell you all about it.

Gender identity can be a complex part of yourself to figure out. It’s easy to get in the weeds with gender any time you try and approach it from a new angle. Not everyone has access to things like transgender support groups, or other people in their lives willing to lend an ear. Journaling has been an incredibly helpful tool I’ve discovered in my own gender journey. Maybe it could help you, too?

Grace is a survivor who has something to ask of you: she’s asking you not to spend time with people who have abused me or any other survivor you know. And she’s also telling you quite a lot about why.

Facing up to my rape, and learning to heal from it, forced me to investigate my sexuality seriously, and for the first time. That is not to say I am glad it happened. I am not. I think I would have gotten there eventually, but how I lived with my assault definitely shifted my perspective.

There are an awful lot of misconceptions and myths surrounding bisexuality. Obviously, these views don’t hold up to reality, and they can be seriously offensive, ignorant, and hurtful, too. With so many pervasive myths out there, it’s always a good time to tackle them head-on and debunk them once and for all. Here are seven pervasive but false beliefs about bisexual men.

Since the earliest days of the internet, there’ve been conversations about what, exactly, kids are being exposed to when they go online—and what might be done to better protect them from websites they’re not ready to see. The cover story for the July 1995 issue of Time Magazine warned of the dangers…

There are many types of UI, but one of the most common affecting young people occurs during physical activity and athletics – athletic urinary incontinence.

A book that gives parents practical tools to proactively teach young children about sexuality and the confidence to use these tools.
