She is probably my oldest friend at this point, and we are both loud, ice-cream obsessed goobers. One of the amazing things that Case Western has to offer is a museum exhibit dedicated to the…
Despite the best efforts of conservative, anti- sex ed advocates, it happened! We came, we educated, we ate pizza, and we had a great time. On May 21st, the wonderful people at Washington Area Secular Humanists (the Southern MD chapter is known as SMASH) brought me down to Lexington Park library to teach my Straight Talk Sex Ed for Teens class, which had been cancelled due to public and county-level pressure this March.

We live in a world where our perceived gender defines so many expectations about the way we dress, act, and live. But what happens when we turn it all upside down? Gender play allows us to redefine and subvert our rigid understanding of gender and create new rules that make us feel sexy and empowered.…
