The grant summary explains that trans boys are “at risk for negative sexual health outcomes yet are effectively excluded from sexual health programs because gender-diverse youth do not experience the cisgender, heteronormative teen sexual education messaging available to them as salient or applicable.”
Good that they are trying to tackle the problem but why not make the whole program more inclusive so the transgender kids feel actually included in the whole thing? Setting up special sex-ed programs just for them still sets them apart from the rest. And even though not all the content will apply to the cisgendered kids it will foster understanding of transsexuality. This is what we do in Europe (except the regimes like Hungary), transsexuality is now a topic of sex-ed.
