Gender Demystified: Creating Inclusive Spaces for People of all Genders

Date: Sep 13, 2022 at 10:00am to 12:10pm
REGISTRATION REQUIRED: https://osu.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwpduigqTsvGtdKp3GoD1dKaySRxDECCfmA Whether you're transgender, cisgender, or agender, you have a gender identity. Frequently confused with gender is sex, but these two terms refer to very different identities. And what about sexual orientation? How does that fit in with gender and sex? Understandably, these identities can be confusing and nuanced. This 2-hour workshop will explore various aspects of gender and sexual identity and examine whether binary models of gender and sex accurately represent human diversity. Participants will learn key vocabulary, gain a better understanding of their own identities through a self-reflection exercise, and identify ways to strive for allyship with transgender and gender non-conforming individuals. Participants will leave the session better equipped to create environments that are inclusive of all genders, not just men and women. Participants will have opportunities for questions and dialogue. Please note: this workshop will not be recorded. FOR CREDIT: Send a 2-3 sentence reflection to apo.leadership.ai@gmail.com talking about the event and what you learned/took away from it.
