http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxbOdZVnJOE Speech transcript from above video link showing Julie Fink,
WAGGGS delegate participant, at Population Action International Panel UN Climate Change Conference in December
1, 2010
I’m here at CO16 as part of the WAGGGS delegation, that is World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, and I
represent 10 million members in 145 countries, all females of all ages. We know that women are most affected by
climate change and we are here to make world leaders understand that they need to invest in girls and young
women to stop climate change.
Our mission as an organization is to empower girls and young women around the world. That is one way to make
them agents of change in terms of also climate change. We realize that sexual and reproductive health rights play
an important role in this. We need to provide a safe space for girls to only discuss the issues of STIs and
contraception to give them the possibility to choose their own lifestyle. Therefore, we are carrying out a range of
projects around the world with the aim of educating the girls on these topics through non formal education. In
these projects, it is important for us that the girls themselves are involved in designing the programs and carrying
out the activities and this way they can act as role models to their peers.”

You could ask a million different people about what happened when they lost their virginity, and you’d probably get a million
different answers. At the most basic level, losing your virginity could be defined as “having sex for the first time.” Even this
definition isn’t that helpful though, because there are tons of different ways to have sex, and not everyone can engage in all
of them. Sure, your first time might include penis-in-vagina intercourse, but does that mean gay girls and boys never lose
their virginity? Do bisexuals lose it twice? How can you lose something that isn’t even tangible? Where does it go? And why
do we call doing something new “losing,” anyway?
What “counts” as losing your virginity?
To avoid having to answer a million questions, I prefer to regard “losing your virginity” as a choose-your-own-adventure.
Oral, anal, vaginal, manual, sex toy, something else? YOU PICK! When it comes to identifying as a virgin, only you can decide
what “counts.” Maybe you “lost your virginity” the first time you gave oral to your girlfriend. Maybe you it was the first time
your boyfriend fingered you. Maybe it was your first-time P in V. There is no wrong way to decide when you’ve lost your
virginity. It is an intangible characteristic that only you get to choose whether or not you identify with.
That said, maybe you think the whole concept of virginity is stupid. Who’s to say that you ever had one in the first place?
Who’s to say that you lost anything when you had sex for the first time? I prefer to think of first-time sexual encounters as
gaining a new experience, not losing something. Instead of thinking of things in terms of virginity, feel free to tell someone
that you gave oral sex for the first time, or that you haven’t tried vaginal intercourse yet. There is no wrong way to talk about
first-time sexual encounters, and anyone who tells you otherwise is likely just as clueless as the rest of us. (read entire article
