Understanding Non-Binary Identities

Genderqueer. Epicene. Gender trash. Non-binary. The ways that people create language to describe their gendered selves and experiences is amazing! Having so many words and terms can be overwhelming and confusing. In this session we'll talk about non-binary experiences and identities, giving participants a chance to learn and ask questions about life outside the binary. Objectives:  1.  Participants will learn techniques for becoming more fluent with non-binary language. 2. Participants will understand some of the experiences in the non-binary community. 3. Participants will be able to ask questions about non-binary identities and experiences.
