The Times They Are A-Changin’: An Identity Primer (and why it matters!); Amy L. Miller, MSW, Interim Director
It may be hard to keep up with all the “newfangled terminology.” When we don’t understand something it’s easy to get annoyed with it or dismiss it as not important. What is cisgender? What is nonbinary? What is demisexual? What is “ace”? What is pansexual? Why do pronouns matter so much all of a sudden? What does all of this mean? Approaching the idea of multifaceted (and mutable) identity from a curious, beginner’s perspective with the goal of education and normalization, we will leave Platform with a little more knowledge than we had before and some comfort around shared definitions.
