Ben Liddie

Breakout Facilitator at the 2017 Teen Wellness Conference

Identity & Acceptance

BREAKOUT SESSION
Breaking the Gender Binary & Learning to Trust Ourselves in the Process

Co-facilitator: Gilbert Gammad
​
In this workshop we will talk about the basics of the “gender binary” and how it constricts and confines our society, promotes violence and prevents self-love. Join us for a dialogue and activity centered on the ways that destroying the gender binary and fighting for trans liberation benefits not just trans folks, but all of us.
