SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION TIPS

1) Don’t put drugs in people’s drinks in order to control their behavior.

2) When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone!

3) If you pull over to help someone with car problems, remember not to assault them!

4) NEVER open an unlocked door or window uninvited.

5) If you are in  an elevator and someone else gets in, DON’T ASSAULT THEM!

6) Remember, people go to the laundry rooms to do their laundry, do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.

7) USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you while you are in public.

8 ) Always be honest with people! Don’t pretend to be a caring friend in order to gain the trust of someone you want to assault. Consider telling them you plan to assault them. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the other person may take that as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.

9) Don’t forget: you can’t have sex with someone unless they are awake!

10) Carry a whistle! If you are worried you might assault someone “on accident” you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can blow it if you do.

Hope to meet and see everyone soon.

Dancing with the Stars first trans contestant

GWSS stands in support of Chaz Bono, the first transgendered contestant on Dancing With the Stars. I believe that the image of an openly transgendered person on TV will offer children working with gender dysphoria an example of someone who struggled with the same issues. Those who claim that this image is “toxic” to children obviously do not have the compassion or awareness to understand that people are different and does not make the wrong or evil.
