Reteaching Gender and Sexuality

Reteaching Gender & Sexuality is a message about queer youth action and resilience. The video was generated to contribute additional queer/trans youth voices to the national conversations about queer/trans youth lives. Reteaching Gender & Sexuality intends to steer the conversation beyond the symptom of bullying, to consider systemic issues and deeper beliefs about gender and sexuality that impact queer youth. We invite you to share the video with your friends, family and networks; we invite you to share with us what THIS issue means to you!

are you expecting transexual folks to look a certain way? Many of those featured in this project identify outside a gender binary (including transgender).

I am a 42 year old heterosexual and let me make this clear. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let these bright light be the ones to inherit the earth. I don't care what you are other then bright and without your knuckles dragging. For the nothing that it is worth I am behind you one hundred percent. I have a ten year old son and the ONLY things I care he is ,is healthy and safe.

Person with glasses and collared shirt is attractive ;P. Also, this is posted on my GSA's Facebook page as well the GSA Network Youth Council Facebook page! I love how simple but effective and clear the message of this video is. I've always struggled with trying to communicate and introduce constructive discussion surrounding gender and sexuality, but couldn't get past the first few sentences without having to stop and define terms I was using (e.g., heteronormativity, gender binary)

@Y0uEnj0yMyself Contradiction! (No pun intended) You just defined male by the presence of a penis. Without a penis it would seem that by your definition one cannot be a dude. Plus this completely leaves out intersexed people. You seem to be functioning on a simplified elementary school level understanding of sex and gender.

@donbvonb ...and loving every minute of it! I honestly don't know if you are trying to be hurtful or not.
