Disclaimer: Consent and establishing boundaries are an important part of sexual health education. In our society, there are many instances where consent and boundaries are not respected. Sexual violence is a very real part of our society, especially when it comes to 2SLGBTQ+ people. We want to provide resources that promote bodily autonomy, living authentically, and engaging in establishing consent and boundaries. We know that resources are also needed to recognize sexual violence, abuse, and unhealthy relationships. We want to give individuals the opportunity to unlearn ways our society upholds abuse and provide a foundation for learning how to change the systems that do so.
