Seeing the Spectrum: An Introduction to Gender and Sexual Diversity
Do you want to better understand gender and LGBTQIA+ identities, and the language we use to talk about them? Join us for Seeing the Spectrum, an introductory workshop on gender and sexual diversity. In this program, you’ll learn about the relationship between gender, sex, and sexuality; practice using gender-neutral pronouns; discuss how to show respect and support; and see how identity goes beyond the binary. There will be a Q&A, so bring your questions!
Seeing the Spectrum is a dynamic and interactive educational workshop that aims to foster a sense of belonging for and understanding of LGBTQIA+ individuals in the world. This workshop intends to broaden the perspectives of participants by clarifying the complexities and variations when it comes to gender and sexuality. This will teach participants not only about queer and trans people but also provide frameworks to recontextualize your own gender and sexuality in a broader spectrum.
This is an introductory program open to all adults. Whether you’re just starting to learn about these topics or you want to expand your understanding, we invite you to attend Seeing the Spectrum!
