“I feel like there’s a lot of ‘It’s OK to be this, it’s OK to be whatever you want to be’ but they don’t say how”

Transcription

What role do you feel that the education system plays in this, if any?

I think they’re quite good in helping to know what the meaning of everything is. Helping us to understand what LGBTQ+ actually is, but I don’t think they do much to help people find out what they are.

Yeah, I feel like there’s a lot of ‘It’s OK to be this, it’s OK to be whatever you want to be’,  but they don’t say how. I know it’s put in many different ways, how, but it’s very stereotypical the way people put it down. If you’re a lesbian, you have short hair. If you’re a gay boy, you like pink. But they don’t really put it down to an array of differences.
