The only sure hung is that no one is easy to read. We’ve all got depth and a whole life worth of complicated experiences that make us who we are. ⠀
⠀
And if you’re a s*xy, bitchy, well-dressed person with depth don’t ever apologize for it!⠀
⠀

Today from 10-12. Come find me in the health centre if you’re still on or around campus. Last door on the right 😎 *xualhealth

Ever feel like you’re drowning in expectations? Ever feel pressure to be part of a couple? To hook up? To be someone you’re not interested in being? Does it ever make you feel grumpy? ⠀
⠀
You’re not alone. The pressure to meet social expectations affects most every one of us. These are lonely feelings, but remember: you don’t feel them alone. ⠀

It’s almost the end of the year, and drop in is winding down. Come by anytime between 230-430 to the Dennis health centre. See you there!

One more of these... exams are winding down. Time to relax ;) ⠀

I’m working on being a grown up, but this is still hilarious 😂 ⠀

Good luck with your finals! Don’t forget to take a break and let your mind and body relax. S*x is a great stress reliever (so is a nap). summer is almost here! ⠀

Yawn through it! It’s Monday again, and that means drop in between 10-noon at the Dennis Health Centre *xualhealth

I talk to a lot of folks about s*x, and almost across the board people learn about gender identity and non-heteros*xual s*xualities through friends or online, not at school. Not teaching inclusive s*x Ed sends the message that there is a “normal” and a “not normal” way to have s*xual, identify or fall in love. ⠀
⠀
Obviously that’s BS.⠀
⠀
Teaching inclusive s*x Ed that includes in depth factual information about gender identity and the wide range of s*xualities that exist helps to normalize “difference” until there’s nothing “different” about it. ⠀
⠀
Smash stigma, smash patriarchy, smash transphobia. Elevate the voices of people who have been “othered” by including them. ⠀
⠀

No Drop in today. Sorry to miss you :)

A gentle reminder and an empowering thought: Your body is not a project; not something to be mastered. Care for it, give it a break and show it some kindness if you can. ⠀

Boys and other masculine presenting folks are not 2 dimensional. We are socialized to think that these folks should be strong and hard and feel no pain. That’s a completely unrealistic expectation, and one that can lead to violence.⠀
⠀
Cis men are statistically the largest group of people who die by su***de. They’re also the most likely group of folks to perpetrate s*xual violence. Part of the way to combat these statistics we need to shift our expectations of masculine folks, and hold space for them to be multi-dimensional people. ⠀

More and more young folks are learning about s*x from p**n. Some studies have found that 11 is the average age when folks start looking at p**n, so chances are p**n shapes our understanding of what s*x is, how it happens, how it looks and what we’re expected to do. ⠀
⠀
**Let me say, before I go on, that I am not anti-p**n. P**n itself isn’t inherently harmful, and I don’t think a p**n prohibition will solve anything (there’s a lot of folks who think it will).⠀
⠀
Now, back to s*x Ed. A lot of p**n plays on stereotypes and cliches of s*x, so when we learn about s*x from p**n we can get a twisted idea of what s*x is really like (ex. there’s not a lot of intimacy in p**n).⠀
⠀
So watch it for fun, watch it to get off, but know it’s a form of fantasy. P**n stars are people, but people don’t always want to be treated like p**n stars. ⠀

Slight time change for the drop in today.
Come by and see me anytime between 1:30 - 3:30 in the Dennis Health Centre!

Talking about body positivity, self love and self care is great! But also, if you can’t get there, can’t feel love for yourself, that’s ok. ⠀
⠀
Self love takes a lot of work, and even after doing the work, we don’t always feel love for ourselves. That’s ok. ⠀
⠀
Keep taking care of yourself as best you can, and give yourself some credit for trying.⠀
⠀

I support inclusive, intersectional and pleasure-focused s*x Ed! But most schools aren’t quite there yet. ⠀
⠀
A lot of folks find the kind of s*x Ed they’re after on YouTube and Tumblr. Online resources are awesome, just make sure the resource is reliable and not biased. ⠀
⠀
Ask yourself:⠀
Who is providing the information?⠀
Why?⠀
Can I fact check this from another resource? ⠀

Stop by for a chat, to organize a s*x Ed activity or what have you. *xualhealth

“And if you don't like abortion⠀
Don't have an abortion”⠀
- Ani Difranco, Amendment ⠀
⠀
There are a lot of taboo subjects related to s*x. There’s a whole list of things we are told not to talk about, things we are told are shameful. ⠀
⠀
Abortion is pretty near the top of that list. We need to talk about it, because silence and shame undermine the reproductive rights and physical health of every person who can become pregnant. ⠀

Did you hear? Early Easter drop in will be today 230 - 430 at the student Health Centre. Hop on by!⠀

Liking, wanting and enjoying the s*x you’re into doesn’t make you any less valuable as a person. ⠀
⠀
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. If they try to, they aren’t worth your time.⠀

Naked bodies are not s*xual, we s*xualize them. ⠀
⠀
Being s*xualized when we want to be can be hot and fun and naughty. ⠀
⠀
Being s*xualized when we don’t want to be can be so many other things, including harassment and assault. ⠀
⠀
No one has a right to any one else’s body. ⠀

Sorry folks, I’m under the weather today.

A reminder that *xworkers people living with a or a and folks all deserve respect and access to equal human rights. AND that recognizing someone else’s rights and humanity does not take away from your own. ⠀

Exactly how I feel about the snow. Come drop by and talk about the weather, or whatever ;)

The is a wise and beautiful blob.⠀
⠀
Creating and maintaining personal boundaries (emotional, s*xual, mental etc.) can be tough work, and people may not appreciate when we lay down the line (however kindly we do it).⠀
⠀
But boundaries are healthy, and can help to keep us safe and healthy too. ⠀
