GENDER IDENTITIES AND SEXUAL EXPRESSIONS

THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE IS MARVELOUSLY VARIED, AND OUR UNDERSTANDING OF GENDER AND SEXUAL ATTRACTION IS JUST CATCHING UP WITH THAT REALITY.

• Terms of the Trade • Examples of career paths • Understanding Gender and Sexuality • Taking Care of Yourself Physically and Mentally • Deciding Whether to Come Out • Learning about Nontraditional Relationships • Salary expectations • Highlights key skills

This series will help teens who are struggling, curious, and/or questioning their gender identity and sexual expression. These topics are very much on the minds of Gen Z, and the time is right for an accessible and authoritative series. While it is possible for people’s sexual preferences and gender identity to change over time or depending on the environment, the series takes care so as not to invalidate what a teen may be feeling now. The guiding idea is that sexual preferences and gender identities can be fluid and are not restricted by labels.
