  • Summary

  • What do you wish you learned in sex education? Join me, Carrie Anne Hojnoski, for a positive discussion on sexual health education, gender identity, & healthy sexual relationships. The central philosophy of The Sex Positive Podcast is fostering a culture of consent, respect for diversity, effective communication and critical thinking skills in sexual relationships. As humans, we have a right to inclusive sexual education beyond biology and risk, which focusses on empowerment of sexual lives, comfort in our bodies, bodily autonomy, and challenging oppressive gender norms.

  • Protect Trans Kids: The Ontario Sex Health Curriculum & Gender Basics 101
    Oct 26 2023
    My response to the protesting of sexual health curriculum in Canada and the support for trans kids & gender non conforming kids in schools. We are also seeing a tremendous backlash in the USA with a record number of anti-trans & LBGTQIA ++ laws being passed — we in the midst of a mental health epidemic of depression, anxiety, addiction & trauma. Please listen and share with an open mind. We need to give kids the safe spaces they need to thrive. Schools are that safe space — and using gender affirming language not only creates safe spaces, it also protects kids from mental health crisis and suicidality.
