We have adopted the concept of curriculum as a discourse, built through social processes of dispute and capable of regulating teaching practice and student learning. We gathered evidence of how science and biology curricula build and reinforce inequalities of sex/gender and sexuality, in which the norm is the cis-hetero-male body, and afterwards summarized curriculum proposals to overcome these oppressive practices. Such evidence is presented in three strands: i) scientific knowledge, ii) teaching material, and iii) teaching action. By organizing the reflections and propositions about sex/gender and sexuality in the curriculum and in science education literature, this essay contributes to the construction of curricula that drive social context's transformation.
