What I'm realising after reading this is that 'sex ed' actually means 'education about your sex (now that you're approaching puberty and need some understanding about what you need to know to safely and successfully live in a female body)' rather than just 'what we think you need to know about human reproduction'.
Also really good idea to start talking about menopause early. I mentioned the other day that we had a women's meeting at work to discuss menopause and it was blowing all of their minds--but they were very eager to learn and prepare, as well as to understand the experience of their older female relatives and colleagues (many women at this meeting talked about how they now understood their mothers better). I knew absolutely nothing about menopause when I started--but I was also extremely lucky to have had a relatively easy menopause; if I'd gone through half of what some of these women described I don't know what I'd have done (one woman said suicide stats for women 45-55 are pretty high).
