Safe(R) Space Workshop (90 minutes or 3 hours)

This workshop is an interactive session of learning about the way in which society has taught us to think about sexuality and gender and where these ideas came from. An activity surrounding terminology and beginning conversations around what each term may mean creates a foundation for dialogue. A 20min video on the Trans community is presented as a start to a deeper conversation surrounding trans identities. The ideas of privilege and oppression are then discussed in the context of ideological, institutional, interpersonal, and internalized oppression. And then a conversation about active Allyship and how to learn more about the topics discussed.
