The cultural narrative surrounding gender is changing. More and more, the vocabulary we use to define our experience is becoming more nuanced and creating more space for gender non-conforming individuals to be seen. Over the course of this workshop, we will explore the power of social constructs to shape our understanding of self and of identity. We will examine the four constructs of sex, gender, presentation, and orientation in detail and take the time to process and become familiar with the complex interactions between these ideas. Then we will explore the impact of trans identity on mental health.
