As the flowers bloom, we're blossoming in our identities.
Join us in the courtyard (weather permitting, fingers crossed!) for a discussion on this much-talked about, much-banned memoir on gender identity, Gender Queer!
Never heard of it? Here's a description:
"In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Now, Gender Queer is here. Maia's intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity—what it means and how to think about it—for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere."
Come one, come all: we practice inclusivity and nonjudgment in our group. #saferspace
Rain check? Not needed. We've got the Main Hall as back-up.
