Themes

In Plainspeak publishes one issue every month, with a single theme running across two months. Our aim is to expand safe, inclusive self-affirming spaces.

CURRENT ISSUE:

November 2024: Gender and Sexuality

The November 2024 issue of In Plainspeak shows how the constituent parts of our ever-morphing gender and sexuality jigsaw puzzle are busy leaping, jigging and dancing about, sometimes joyfully, sometimes rebelliously. Across social media, the Internet, educational institutions, digital data, films, gyms, homes, a badminton court, art, and more. Let’s jump right in!

UPCOMING ISSUE:

December 2024: Parents, Teachers and CSE
