Where does the concept of transphobia originate from? How is transphobia especially harmful to those with intersecting marginalization? How can we be better allies to the transgender community? This workshop is geared toward allies interested in learning about the impacts of transphobia. Trans individuals are welcome, although some topics may be triggering for trans folks.

How do societal roles and expectations influence our relationship to our masculinity? What role does the patriarchy and its byproduct toxic masculinity have in inhibiting our ability to be fully present in the spectrum of our experience and live authentically as men? What insights do trans masculine individuals bring to the conversation of masculinity? We will explore these issues as we look at the concept of healthy masculinity. This workshop is geared toward transgender men, cisgender men, and masculine individuals.
