What Being Trans Has Taught Me About Gender and Identity, and Why That Matters in These Times; Grayson Rosen; 10-Aug-2025

As the current iteration of the conservative movement continues to escalate its attacks on trans people in the United States, it does so by asserting that there are only two sexes and that one’s gender is immutably connected to one’s sex. It would be easy to assume this only harms the roughly 1% of the population who is trans, but in fact this harms us all. Drawing from his own journey of self-discovery and the people who inspired him along the way, Grayson will share what he’s learned about gender, identity, and how breaking free of restrictive boxes is an essential component to the fight to build a better world for us all.
