I was 13 in secondary education when a 14 year-old in the same school raped me. We never had any classes about sex and consent in my (Catholic) school. Maybe if we had it wouldn’t have happened. Maybe if we had I would have had words to put on what happened to me.

Expose of appalling RSE in schools using secretive third party provider. Absolutely wicked how 12yos being taught abt sex acts framed by queer theory, S&M or porn. Heartbreaking to hear kids themselves protest about age-inappropriateness whilst giving egs of tender relationships.

@KatyMontgomerie What they actually mean is “persons with the capacity to get pregnant” and “everyone else”. Because they view cis fertile women as precious little fragile things that need to be protected and yet revered. A very patriarchal take.

@GcRacism Racial dating preferences can very much be racist. There was a whole thing about how if you won't sit next to someone on the bus you won't want them as your son or daughter-in-law either, or you won't want to date them.

@setoacnna Additional newsflash: disabled public bathrooms are frequently gender neutral. Disabled people are at much higher risk of rape. Yet we don't see them campaigning for single-sex bathrooms. Cause they know that's the least of their problems.
