The history of trans and non-binary experience

This event has ended, but if you think it looks interesting, you might want to check out our other upcoming talks. Our speaking events take place monthly in Liverpool city centre and are free to attend.
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.
