Stuff about cishet sex and preventing STDs is important.

But absolutely nothing about gender! Or romance! Or hell, even lust between two cishet people! Can't the concept of "hookups" be brought up?

Deriving sexual pleasure for both parties wasn't even talked about either!

And of course the concept of "being gay" wasn't brought up either. "Lesbians? Gays? Are those a brand of energy drink or.....?"

And "PIV" sex was the only method acknowledged to exist.

As I type this I'm realizing it wasn't even very good for the cishets!

No mentions of setting boundaries in sexual and romantic relationships. Nothing about breaking up in a healthy and constructive manner. Again, nothing about making sure both parties are sexually satisfied.

I mean we all know one party in a relationship becoming apathetic towards the other party never happens. Lust and romance Love are completely static emotions that never fluctuate with time!

Nothing about different types of love.

On a personal level I'm pissed I was never told about asexuality, aromanticism, and gender queerness.

I mean god forbid I get told what being agender and transfem means and then wonder if I'm both of those! Or that I could be aromantic!

Yeah, I was made to think that being intersex was a problem that needed to be fixed and something to be ashamed of because my body was deformed. Something went "wrong" with my development, that's why I grew breasts and could only grow neck scraggles with a small patch of fur under my lip and my voice never cracked and ended up so much shorter than my dad. 🙄

I spent so long with a complex about the ways I wasn't a real man that it took me a really long time to realize I'm actually a woman.

    Fucking same, although I failed at the mental aspects of masculinity more than the physical ones.
