10) Isaac's face everytime Aimee said something

11) Everytime Adam, Aimee or Eric were on screen

12) Ruby being an icon

13) Queer Friend Groups ruling the school

14) Adam Coming out to Mr. Groff and Mr. Groff being such a dad about it

15) Otis trying to dress up for queer night

16) Otis staying with Ruby because her dad left

17) Cal and Aisha

18) Aimee and Otis waiting outside for Maeve and bonding

19) Adam and the horse finally getting along

Things I didn't like

The lack of interaction between the Moordale Students

No Closure for Ola, Lily and Jakob

I miss Ola and Adam

Adam not mixing with Moordale kids as much

Joanna ruining the OTIS-MAEVE Date

Beau and Viv

Anything with Abbi (she redeems herself at the end but idk I still found her grating)

The fact that this is the first time MAEVE HAS MET JEAN

Adam looking at Eric and Eric looking at Otis :(

Otis and Maeve breaking up (It's realistic and makes sense but it hurt my heart)

Otis acting like a child with his mum and Ruby

Mr Molloy

Otis not apologizing to Ruby

Jackson's DAD

i loved cal bowman's arc in season 4 of sex education. it was one of the first times i've ever felt seen in any trans rep on television.

SO so much trans rep is so white. and all of it is so passing. when i look at the trans people i see on screen, specifically the trans kids i see on screen, and then i look at the trans people in my life... something does not add up. one of the biggest problems the trans community is facing rn is access to medical transition between crisis in the NHS, and growingly restrictive laws in the US. and it all applies so much more heavily on trans kids. but the trans teens i see on screen are all... um. well, they're played by 24 year old models. they've been on HRT for years, and they'll typically have ffs/top surgery. which is really not the slightest bit relatable to actual trans teens.

but back to cal. because cal is a complete rebellion of all this. cal is not white, cal is not transfemme, and most of all, they are very early in their transition.

throughout season 4, they literally compare themselves to the other transmasc kid on the show. 2? in 1 show? i know right!!! roman has top surgery, and has clearly been on HRT for at least a couple months. this is the trans teen representation that we see all the time!!! something that is so out of reach from most trans kids. but cal is not like roman. cal is on a waiting list for top surgery, and can't afford it if they go private. the private HRT is already expensive enough. they are also literally just starting HRT. that is a lot more relevant to real trans kids, who are probably kind of just starting it or haven't at all. looking at roman makes cal so dysphoric and envious, because it's everything they can't have. that is the reality of a lot of trans kids. that is the precise discrepancy between trans rep and real trans people. and when cal literally runs away, not to get anywhere, not to run to the netherlands or something. but just to sit on a rock and look out at a world which they don't belong in.

i have never felt more fucking seen in my life.

and some even more stuff, 1, cal's mom. she supports cal... but she doesn't really... get it? its giving left leaning centrist. it's giving average joe or josephine. its giving... my mother!!! hahaa ha

and 2, roman. i said roman is kind of a representation of a lot of the trans rep we see but thats not actually completely true. most of the trans rep we see is white, thin, and minimalist. and also transfemme but thats a conversation for another time! what i mean when i say minimalist is that the androgyny and gender noncomformity of it is very... nothing. i guess it's the difference between being enby as in neither gender, and being enby as in both genders. the androgyny we see all the time is very masculine, with short hair, short nails, no boobs, no bulge, no color, no nothing. i think this post describes that pretty well. i would definitely recommend reading it.

but roman on the other hand, is not white, has long hair, and long nails. he isn't performing that kind of masculinity that's... expendable?blends into the background. he's performing a kind of femininity which is loud, which is something to be looked at, something to be admired. and thats the kind of androgyny we need to see more often.

overall, i really really enjoyed the trans storylines in this season, and i would definitely recommend watching it. just skip over all the otis parts cause hes a annoying little bitch

hello everyone!! i just finished the last season of sex education, so here i am making a review.

the first two or three episodes were boring af, i literally enjoyed only the scenes where Adam, Jackson or Ruby appeared. let me say that i can barely stand Otis, Maeve and Eric, so i didn’t enjoyed that much half of the season (lmao) so i’m not gonna mention them, i just want to say that they’re all been so selfish and didn’t care about their loved ones: Otis was too much into becoming the only educator in school, Maeve was focused on staying in america and the funeral of her mom, and Eric was too focused on being accepted into the popular group; but anyway, let’s move on: i liked a lot how they handled the relationship between Adam and his family, in fact i cried watching every scene where Adam was in (yes i’m a bit ashamed ahah). another thing i liked was the personage of Jackson: he was always there for Viv, he tried his best to protect her. but i didn’t like how they handled the situation with Cal, it was like he was so distant and he didn’t care at all about them, it was sad to watch. the personage of Ruby had a lot of potential, but they decided to put her aside and give her the role of “manager” which was very marginal for the story. the new personages were so useless, except for the deaf girl; yeah i mean, they had a role, but idk they didn’t convinced me at all. another thing that didn’t convinced me at all was the school, i mean, where do you find a so perfect institute? and how come that the only problem is the elevator that is not working? please tell me where LOL :) it was definitely too much perfect and visionary. the last words are for the personage of Jean, she’s been everybody’s mom for a while, and i’m so happy that she find the power to ask for help, and her sister too, finally they can be together and be happy and have therapy!!! that’s amazing.

i guess i’ll miss every personage of this series a little bit, but their journey went too far away for me, this is the perfect final for them, nothing has to change.

if you are still reading, thank you! i hope you like my review, see you next time :) -jus

maaan say what you will about sex education but the final season really gave me Eric struggling to balance his christianity and queerness, while being affirmed by literal God for the choices he makes, and through that being led to Cal who's having extreme gender dysphoria and has completely shut down and dissociated, it's like my entire life just got summed up in this storyline

#sex education #eric effiong #cal bowman #ncuti gatwa #dua saleh #ohhh these two #these two and their explorations of queerness #and it's eric that finds them and then jackson who arrives next #im having a cry dont mind me
