Educational Workshops

LGBTQ...LMNOP! Learning Your Queer Alphabet

This session is a great opportunity for learning the basics of gender and sexuality. In it, we define sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation and identity, and explore the fluidity of these identities as well as their intersection with each other and with one's other various identities. This session can also be customized to include an assessment of the climate of your campus or organization as it pertains to the experiences of LGBTQ people.

All You Really Need to Know About Transgender Identity

For many, the concept of transgender identity is incredibly hard to get our mind around. As humans, we tend to overanalyze and focus on things that really don't concern us when it comes to our differences. This session will help you to understand all you really need to know when it comes to understanding trans identity and providing a safe and inclusive space for our trans and gender non-conforming friends and loved ones.

Making Our Private Parts, Private
