Trans Rights & Inclusion at a Critical Moment:
Deepening our Understanding of Gender and Sexuality and Combatting the Rise of Organized Transphobia
This one-day pilot course aims to help members understand the rise of organized transphobia which has grown rapidly in recent years spurred on by the emboldening of the far right and as part of a larger “Conservative Countermovement” against social progress. The course will provide an introductory understanding around sexual and gender diversity, gender identities, gender expression and sexuality. Through looking at media representation, histories of colonization and a recognition of the diverse experiences of queerness, this course will provide practical strategies on how members can advance Trans and 2SGLBTQIA+ inclusion in our workplaces, unions and communities. Lastly, this course will help members understand how combatting 2SGLBTQIA+ hate is essential to building a progressive workers movements that can win liberation for all.
