Beyond the Masc: A community conversation

Beyond the Masc is the first event in Flirt in the Park’s three-part community conversation series.

Through a moderated panel and audience conversation, we’ll explore Masc identity beyond the assumptions and expectations often placed upon it.

Topics may include:

• Identity and self-expression
• Dating and relationships
• Friendship and community
• Vulnerability and emotional expectations
• Stereotypes surrounding Masc-presenting people
• What our community needs to understand beyond the label

This is not about asking one panelist to represent every Masc experience. It is an opportunity to hear different perspectives, challenge assumptions, and have an honest conversation rooted in curiosity and respect.

Masc experiences will be centered, but sapphic community members of all identities and expressions are welcome to attend, listen, reflect, and participate respectfully.
