The LGBT+ Friends and Allies invites you to October’s events:
ELLIC class Transgender 101
What does the term “transgender” mean? How about “non-binary? Why are people talking about their pronouns, and why are some people saying they use “they/them” pronouns instead of he or she?
Tuesday, October 4, 2022 10:00-11:30 AM Auditorium
Instructor Dr. Kate Drabinski is Principal Lecturer in Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies at UMBC. She teaches courses on sexuality, gender, and political activism.
ELLIC Class They Told Me They’re Gay…Now What?
It takes a lot of courage for our children, grandchildren, friends, and family to tell us they are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or something else. Join Dr. Kate Drabinski for a workshop about how to negotiate the many feelings that come with “coming out” and learn how to support our loved ones and each other through this process. (See Dr. Drabinski’s bio above).

Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family
The Maineses had twin boys. “By the time the twins were toddlers, confusion over Wyatt’s insistence that he was female began to tear the family apart. In the years that followed, the Maineses came to questions their long-held views on gender and identity.”
