Maybe Burke

How do you know you’re transgender? With all the different words people can use for their gender, how do you find the one that works for you? What happens after you come out? Join Maybe Burke as she tells the story of growing to reject binary gender roles, choosing her own name, and staying true to herself. Through personal anecdotes and Q & A, Maybe works to break down her personal journey of coming into her identity as a way to foster an understanding of transgender people and inspire listeners to be true to themselves

Womxn? Women+? How do we use expansive language when discussing what’s historically been known as “women’s issues”? Who are we including and why? Take a deep dive into inclusive language practices, the history and baggage that comes with some of the commonly heard alternatives, and plan for best practices moving forward.

Recent years have come with a rise in gender expansive conversations. But in a world that relies on restrictive binaries, many people don't know the history and significance behind non-binary communities and identities. This workshop will help participants attain a deeper understanding of how to affirm and respect non-binary people.
