🖋️"An outright ban on social media platforms for under-16s is problematic. It neglects young people’s rights and voice and penalises them rather than targeting social media platforms. Professor @jessicaringrose.bsky.social argues Australia’s under-16s social media ban could do more harm than good.

A statement from the Board of Trustees of the Vagina Museum regarding trans inclusion.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Trans women are routinely denied healthcare, safe housing and dignity. This isn’t an accident. It is hate, fuelled by those in power. Trans rights are human rights — and I will always stand with the trans community.

Thank you to all that protested today. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

This article outlines the APA's recent evidence-based guide to help parents navigate the complex world of teen video viewing. "The goal is not to control your child, but to help them learn to exert some measure of self-control, even if it takes practice," says @mitchprinstein.bsky.social.

Deep in conversation imploring the London assembly to take action to prevent sexual violence through better statutory RSE (primary through to further education) that addresses all facets of consent!
