Come Up to the Lab: My Gender Workshop

Ever since Time Magazine proclaimed a ���Transgender Tipping Point��� a year and a half ago, I���ve been exploring trans identities and expressions that aren���t included in mainstream acceptance���because as a nonbinary trans person, I have yet to occupy any mainstream tipping point. So I���m researching this for a new book I���m working on: ���Trans! Just for the Fun of It!��� and that makes this workshop a laboratory. So���

���come up to the lab, and see what���s on the slab!

Workshop participants will be encouraged to step out of any gender/sexuality comfort zones they���ve managed to establish for themselves. We will experiment more or less safely with a few of the very real dangers of living a trans life in a cis world, including a good long look at whatever it might be that shames us, humiliates us, and otherwise prevents us from having a wonderfully fun time with our genders. The tools I���ll be using include postmodern theory and Tibetan Buddhism, which overlap in slapstick.

All this to say you can expect a day full of laughs, more than a few head-scratching puzzles, and most likely a tear or two or three. Please do join me!
