The history of trans and non-binary experience

The history of trans and non-binary experience

In a climate of increasing hostility towards trans and non-binary people, both in the UK and abroad, this talk will shed light on the nature of trans and non-binary experience, how we can understand them as part of the complex reality of human gender and sex, and place them in a wider historical and social context. This talk will look at gender diversity in history and around the world today, as well as the current context for trans and non-binary people in the UK.

All our events are free to attend, however we do ask for donations after the talk. There is no obligation to donate, but we are a non-profit organisation, run exclusively by volunteers - donations are how we can continue to fund these talks and all our other events.
