Ace Inclusion Guide for High Schools
For many students, early high school brings along a heightened interest in exploring sexuality, but for asexual students-those who don't experience sexual attraction toward anyone-this interest among their peers can introduce a range of challenges. Many asexual youth struggle to relate to their classmates, often while facing isolation, bullying, and covert discrimination.
A growing number of high school students are identifying as and coming out as asexual, but few have access to resources, mentors, or professionals who can adequately support them. These students often face invalidation as others assume that their sexuality is a phase, that they are too young to know their sexual orientation, or that asexuality simply does not exist.
Asexual Outreach's Ace Inclusion Guide for High Schools provides educators, guidance counsellors, administrators, and student leaders with tools and knowledge to build inclusive environments for asexual students in their schools and communities. The book features a comprehensive introduction to the asexual spectrum, reflection questions to help readers challenge preconceived assumptions, and step by step instructions for supporting asexual students and providing safer spaces for them.
