TRANS 101/Anti-Transphobia Workshop
Sunday, October 16 · 4:00pm - 6:00pm
Flying Squirrel Community Space
285 Clarissa St.
Rochester, NY
Many people, including those who run in activist/anti-oppression circles, are largely entirely unaware or only peripherally aware of transgender issues. As a result, many trans* people feel alienated from these communities, even though, logically, it seems we should all be standing together in solidarity to end ALL forms of oppression.
In this workshop, our goals will be:
1) To break down cis-centric models of thinking about gender/sex.
2) Share our knowledge of transgender history, terminology, etiquette, and issues (legal, medical, economic, and social).
3) Discuss ways in which we can understand and unpack cis privilege and take direct steps to create community spaces that are more inclusive toward trans* and gender-nonconforming people.
We will have time for questions and open discussion.
We'll also have some snacks/refreshments!
