Sex educators are self-censoring their language online to avoid content bans on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. What do we lose when content creators rely on ‘algospeak’? @zoecunniffe.bsky.social reports:
Sex Educators Are Self-Censoring Online to Avoid Content Bans. Does it Work?
It's called 'algospeak,' and it looks like 's3x,' 'le$bian,' and 'c00chie.' Some creators swear by it, but experts say it may increase stigma.

Sex ed is self-defense. The lack of accountability and its consequences feel especially heavy right now. Education is also lagging behind.

The Civil Rights Movement was a roar for connection against a system built on keeping those it labeled "others" down and preserving quiet over justice. Defeated but not destroyed, that system continues to erase certain leaders from the spotlight or smooth over their legacies.

At some point we decided that having the highest rate of maternal mortality among developed nations was acceptable, and that denying care, even when it is life-saving, is the consequence of being able to give birth. We can do better.

As advocates for sex education, we recognize that overwhelmingly popularity alone will not protect our rights. We must be bolder, louder, and more invested in community than ever.

SIECUS was founded July 1, 1964, the day before the Civil Rights Act was passed, and four years before Martin Luther King Jr. was killed. We've met new challenges over the decades with the wisdom and leadership of community leaders and advocates.

Sex is a mixture of physical, emotional, and personal intimacy. Sex ed is a tool to understand it and make healthy choices. So how did learning the basics get reduced to "teaching p*rn" by the opposition? It all comes back to how we (mis)treat women, gender, and sexuality.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives passed a bill that would criminalize gender-affirming care for transgender youth under 18 and put doctors in prison for providing this care.
This bill is an unjustifiable threat to the well-being of trans youth and their families. The Senate must reject it.
