Challenging Transphobia with C.A.R.E

“I want to be a trans ally but I don’t know how to have the difficult conversations I know I need to have. I get flustered and confused (or angry and enraged!) and wish I could engage differently."

Using Schuyler's CARE framework, this workshop will provide simple,tangible tools to equip participants for challenging conversations, particularly around trans right and social justice. Join Schuyler Bailar for this 90-min offering and get ready for active participation!

AGENDA: (1) Context, including a brief overview of anti-trans attacks and the importance of allyship; (2) Framework, reviewing the tools for improved engagement with those who disagree or who are difficult to converse with; (3) Sample conversations, (4) Role play with the audience, (5) Q&A.

All are welcome, regardless of gender history. Cisgender (not transgender people) folks are strongly encouraged to attend, continuing their efforts to support trans and other marginalized folks during this time. Fellow trans folks are, of course, welcome; the seminar will help provide you with better tools to engage in conversations advocating for yourself.
