Many men treat the women and girls in our lives with respect and care. Yet few of us speak up when other men behave in sexist and disrespectful ways, and even fewer challenge the wider inequalities that harm women and girls. It’s time for men to step up.

Focusing on consent ignores better ways of preventing sexual violence By Nicole K. Jeffrey https://t.co/AkHfJ7FIlB

Exactly what I hear from parents IRL
Dear schools, please feel comfortable to teach a whole range of sex ed topics. Australian parents have your back and they want you to teach more than consent. Check out my recent article: https://t.co/oRXq6io52r via @ConversationEDU @Bloom_edAU

🌈Quite frankly, adults who are so concerned about other people's sexuality, (especially children's) when it is none of their business sets my reg flags flying... disgusting.

🌈Trans and gender diverse kids are some of the most vulnerable in our society - because of disgraceful adults who harm children and others under the guise of freedom of speech and that their rights are more important than other's.

🌈You don't have to understand human sexual diversity but you do have to respect it. 🌈Anti trans activists have vile, ignorant and arrogant beliefs based on fear tactics and inaccurate information.

🌈Some people's gender does not match their sex assigned at birth, indeed some people's gender does not match either of the binary sexes usually assigned at birth. 🌈Human's are diverse and that includes sexuality.

I want to celebrate our country, however I want to celebrate all 60,000+ years of it. Which includes telling the truth about it’s history. That history includes colonisation and the beginning of the dispossession of land, violence, massacres and genocide for indigenous
