Lesson 9
Consent is a Superpower
Key Ideas
- Consent means asking before you touch someone and respecting their answer.
- Everyone is the boss of their own body.
- Saying yes to a hug is giving consent. Saying no is also giving consent because you are in charge.
- People can change their minds about what they want, and that must be respected.
- If someone says no, stop, or do not, we stop immediately. This counts for everyone.
- Outing means sharing someone's private information, like their gender identity or pronouns, without their permission. This is harmful and not okay.
- Consent makes relationships safer and more trusting for everyone.
