5. Gender Stereotypes
Something I am extremely against - since I am transgender and break every gender stereotype out there.

Back to the topic, abstinence should be taught as the first choice - but not the only choice. Sex education should be informative, not fearful. It's a shame that my own state California - a so-called "blue state" - is participating in abstinence-only education, under pressure from conservative immigrant groups.
