Yumi Stynes is a second-gen Japanese-Australian TV and radio presenter who, like a lot of us, had to 'unlearn' period shame. She's currently the host of Ladies, We Need to Talk, an award-winning podcast that explores all the trickiest topics and taboos about women's health, including periods, discharge, difficult motherhood, and whether or not your vagina is weird. Most people know Dr Melissa Kang as the longest-serving expert behind the iconic Dolly Doctor column, but she's also a practising medical doctor for marginalised young people and has academic roles at the University of Technology Sydney and the University of Sydney. She is fifth-generation Malaysian-Chinese Anglo-Australian, which makes specialising in adolescent sexuality and sexual health all the more interesting. She continues to speak about these topics in the mainstream media.
'Welcome to Consent is a fierce, funny, celebratory and extremely
supportive young people's guide to saying no, saying yes and being
"the boss of your body."' - Emilie Coulter, freelance writer and
editor
'While one might think consent is a fairly straightforward
proposition ("Yes means yes and no means
no--right?"), the authors make clear from the get-go that
there's a lot more nuance and complexity to consent than meets the
eye. Some of the myriad issues that complicate matters include
power dynamics, experience levels, cultural backgrounds,
communication skills, substance use, desire and embarrassment.'
- Emilie Coulter, freelance writer and editor
'Most will see the immense value in honest, direct talk that
prepares young people of all types for normal, complicated human
interactions. Lucky is the young person who consents to read this
book.' - Emilie Coulter, freelance writer and editor
