Interview with Grace, 18-19, White British, middle class. Women, Risk and Aids Project, Manchester, 1989. Original version (Ref: MCTAPE1)

This interview is part of the Women, Risk and Aids Project (1989-90) archive which was created as part of the Reanimating Data Project (2018-20).<br>Original transcript of an interview with a young woman (Grace) in sixth form – criticism of ‘traditional’/formal methods of Sex education in schools (eg. teacher embarrassment, no way to anonymously ask questions, too much focus on condoms and heteronormativity). Most of her sex education was gleaned from teen magazines eg. Just Seventeen. Didn’t agree with fear-mongering approach of AIDS education and campaigning. Worries about pregnancy within her peer group. Has had a boyfriend, but does not want sexual intercourse yet – very strong notions/awareness within herself of ideas around consent and pressure. Talked about sex as something that young people ‘do’ (seen as natural progression?) rather than to seek pleasure, experiment etc.

本次访谈隶属于1989年至1990年开展的女性、风险与艾滋病项目（Women, Risk and Aids Project）档案库，该档案库是2018年至2020年实施的数据活化项目（Reanimating Data Project）的组成部分。本内容为对一名就读于英国中学第六学级的年轻女性格蕾丝（Grace）的访谈原始转录稿，访谈中她批判了学校中"传统"/正式的性教育模式，例如授课教师的尴尬回避、无法匿名提问、过度聚焦避孕套教学以及异性恋中心主义倾向。她的性教育知识大多来自青少年杂志，例如《Just Seventeen》。她并不认同艾滋病教育与宣传活动所采用的恐吓式叙事方式。她对同龄群体中出现的意外怀孕现象表示担忧。她曾有过男友，但目前暂无性交意愿；她对性同意与社交压力相关议题拥有清晰且坚定的认知与主见。她将性行为视作年轻人的"常规行为"（被视为成长的自然阶段），而非出于寻求愉悦或尝试体验等目的。
