JUST IN: It has been confirmed that a proposed new #TitleIX rule will be published in April 2022, which will start the public comment period (also known as NPRM--notice for proposed rule-making). This is one month earlier than originally stated.

reginfo.gov/public/do/eAge… We want to be clear that this timeline is still late. Students can't wait. Students deserve to have their protections restored immediately.

We have pushed. We have urged. We have protested. We have demanded for #EDActNow, not in April.

Consent is more than a single question - it is an ongoing conversation to ensure all partners involved are comfortable, safe, and on the same page.

Thank you @plannedparenthood for creating the FRIES model to help us better understand the different pieces that play a role... Consent is an agreement between individuals to engage in sexual activity. It requires ongoing communication about boundaries and what each person is comfortable with. There are 5 Core elements of consent - that it is freely given, reversible, informed, enthusiastic, and specific.

Welcome to Reclaiming the #DoubleRedZone, Week 1. This week is about raising awareness of the Double Red Zone.

1/ #DenimDay History: A Thread (Trigger Warning)

In 1992 Italy, an 18-year old girl is picked up by her married 45-year old driving instructor for her very first lesson. He takes her to an isolated road, pulls her out of the car, wrestles her out of one leg of her jeans and 2/ forcefully rapes her. Threatened with death if she tells anyone, he makes her drive the car home. Later that night she tells her parents, and they help and support her to press charges. The perpetrator gets arrested and is prosecuted. He is convicted of rape and sentenced

1/ “It was important for me to take part in this initiative because rape culture impacts trans women just as much as our cisgender counterparts. As a Black trans woman and survivor of multiple acts of sexual violence, my claims weren’t solely diminished because of my Blackness... 2/ but because of my gender identity as well. Some made the assumption that I “tricked” the perpetrators, therefore bringing it on myself. Other’s felt I was a liar to identify as a woman therefore I must be lying about the rape. Then, there were those who believed trans women...
