Boycotting the Binaries

2/22/2025 | Sat | 10am - 12pm | Eastern Time/NY | 2 CE hours


Class Description

Boycotting the Binaries - Coping with the Political Climate with Regard to Gender The need for this course is overwhelming for those who search to embrace all people regardless of their gender, gender identity or gender expression. After taking this course, the goal is to have an open learning and therapeutic environment where a child can be their authentic self and not live under the umbrella of assumptions that exist simply because they were born "male" or "female." Participants will gain a better understanding of intersexuality and genders that exist outside of the binaries. As therapeutic experts, boycotting the binaries will serve you well to educate the parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists that deal with gender-fluid youth. Your expertise could help them create an awareness of how their everyday language and actions cement those binaries that make the child feel they need to choose one gender or the other. The existence of gender fluidity will be defined and urged as a mode of acceptance. Course Objectives Distinguish the difference between gender and sex Identify the assumptions that exist within themselves and society when it comes to the binaries Recognize the existence of the Two-Spirit Indigenous people as an exemplar of acceptance and understanding Differentiate the concepts of gender identity and gender expression/role Design a plan to share with school districts and mental health facilities that will serve to create more gender fluid environments About the Instructor Diane taught for 38 years in Rockland County, NY.
