Gender is a lie. It's not real beyond what other people tell us about it. Why do we identify with gender? What does it mean to transcend gender? If you've thought critically about gender in your own life or think you want to start exploring, sign up and join our open discussion of queer critical theorists and their ideas! content warning: topics might include mentions of transphobia, homophobia, cissexism, and other oppressions of gender and sexual minorities (but it won't be the majority of the class)

Sex is a lie. Both the act of sex and the idea of sex identity only have meaning as it is assigned by the people who gave them or taught them to us. What does it mean to expand our definitions of sex? How can sex be used to affirm or question gender identities? Do we need or want either? If you've thought critically about sex in any capacity, consider joining our open discussion of queer critical theorists and their ideas! content warning: topics might include mentions of transphobia, homophobia, cissexism, and other oppressions of gender and sexual minorities (but it won't be the majority of the class)

Ever thought you were just different from everyone else? Did recognizing your queerness change your life or did nothing change at all? Have you ever considered why Pride is a thing? Do you wonder why (and/or hate it when) straight people say "I don't have a problem with gay people, I just hate it when it's their entire personality"? Queerness *literally* is rebellion--specifically to capitalist cisheteropatriarchy, which is the structural foundation of our entire world. Queer existence subverts power. Queer existence is powerful. It's not time to rebel, you always have been. Come through to learn more about your queer power. (content warning: we will be discussing mental, physical, and sexual health problems, including suicide, drug abuse, depression, a number of phobias and sexisms, and more topical issues that plague the LGBTQIA+ community on behalf of capitalist cisheteropatriarchy)
