Discussion Topic description:

~ The discussion subject is gender and the topics are limitless! The discussion will begin is a basic discussion about gender, the issues that are faced when gender boundaries are crossed or blurred and how to become a successful ally.

Gender is a topic that many people feel they must walk around as if they are on egg shells, approaching with caution and afraid to ask questions. Let’s remove the egg shells, pull down the caution tape and speak freely asking questions that need to be answered. The only way we can truly help people understand is by bringing things out that need to be discussed.

Experiences will be shared, there will be laughter and may be tears, but hopefully by the end of this class there will be bridges built and increased understanding of the gender diverse community in which we all live.

Bring the questions you have always wanted to ask and join us for a conversational approach to what it's like traveling the gender spectrum!
