Brief description of the issue

Talking about sexuality education with students can sometimes feel uncomfortable for teachers and for some students too. We all have different experiences that can influence how we react to certain topics. Also, our perception of sexuality is strongly influenced by gender stereotypes and a binary vision of gender. To make sure all students (of all genders and body anatomies – e.g. intersex youth) feel comfortable talking about a sometimes touchy subject, it is important to avoid reinforcing gender stereotypes when we teach.
