Queer Up! - Gender: In Progress
Workshop
3.5 hrs
August 25, 2019 2:00 pm Sunday

How do you know what your gender is? How do you know what someone else's gender is? What markers of gender (clothing, mannerisms, body type etc.) make someone's gender "evident"? From the time that our biological sex is mistaken for our gender identity, we are told what our gender is. We are never asked. We rarely even ask ourselves. What is your gender and what does it mean to you?
