Setup
Ever since the day Caitlyn Jenner peered at America from the cover of Vanity Fair, there’s been a shift in how we talk about gender. From the battle over bathrooms to understanding how to appropriately use pronouns, gender issues have hit the mainstream. Even for compassionate, educated citizens, keeping pace with terminology and sensitivities can be a challenge. In this interactive session, the audience will learn the nuances of language—cisgender, fluidity, and genderqueer, among them—from a social justice activist. Expect to be both entertained and informed.
