Above all else, talk about condoms—this shouldn't just be the girl's responsibility. Yes, there is trust involved with that but it also introduces a couple of good things into the dynamic, that you can explain to your daughter as something that she can use to protect her own agency:

Telling the boyfriend "not without a condom" is a low-threshold test for how much he respects her and her boundaries. This is something they both need to learn to say and hear.
Explain that if they're not mature enough to go to the store and buy their own box of condoms (both of them—whether separately or together), then they're in no position to claim they're responsible enough to consider having sex. Ask to see a store receipt for extra credit, haha.
Having the condoms at least means they've thought ahead, and done the minimum of planning.

this is not a debate sub! We will get around to making the debate sub for anyone with questions about gender critical ideas or radical feminism. We are migrating over from Reddit after the bannings.

Female is Not a Feeling. We won't go down quietly.

Re-forming wherever we can: Spinster.xyz

Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy. We stand up for the rights of women to control our own bodies as individuals and to control women-only spaces as a class.

Women are adult human females. We do not believe that men can become women by 'feeling' like women. We do not condone the erasure of females and female-only spaces, the silencing of critical thinking, the denial of biological reality and of sex-based oppression. We oppose the 'cotton ceiling' and the pressure on lesbians to have sex with men. We resist efforts to limit women's reproductive autonomy. We condemn the men who exploit and abuse women in prostitution and pornography.

"Women do not decide at some point in adulthood that they would like other people to understand them to be women, because being a woman is not an ‘identity.’ Women’s experience does not resemble that of men who adopt the ‘gender identity’ of being female or being women in any respect. The idea of ‘gender identity’ disappears biology and all the experiences that those with female biology have of being reared in a caste system based on sex." - Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts
