Introduction
A journey through three cities, to bring people together and talk –openly, candidly, and in science-led ways– about gender identity, gender expression, and gender characteristics. It’s time to open that box we’re all put in from infancy. Who will we love? What will we wear and play with? What is it we like? Taboos and oppression, trauma and sufferance, within families and at school too. Or could it all be different?
Will my child be happy?
Are we born or made?
What have I done wrong? What about school?
Lots of questions in a discussion-presentation that sets out to raise awareness and familiarize participants with concepts and realities that define our lives. You are not alone. Fears, worries about handling things right, “difficult questions,” insecurities when it comes to dealing with your team or class or family – there are answers to all these things.
This is a discussion Onassis Stegi started having years ago. One sparked by the “I’m Positive” initiative, which seeks to raise awareness and combat stigma in all its forms. We stand with children, with their parents and teachers, and are working to ensure respect is shown for self-identification. We support all those calling for schools “open to all children” and free from all discrimination.We’re going on the road to speak with and listen to parents and teachers. We believe that raising awareness and providing reliable information can change the world for a child – and even for just one, it’s worth it.
