Our regular space is unavailable this week but we couldn’t pas on the amazing opportunity to have Dr. Sage Milo join us to help us better understand Gender Identity, Gender Transition and Pronouns. So for this week only we will be meeting at 252 Bloor Street West – Room 8280 (North side of Bloor, between St. George and Bedford), at our regular time of 10:30 AM. Please note that we can not bring food and drink into this room, so rather than our normal snacks and coffee we will be going out for brunch afterwards around noon at Bedford Academy (36 Prince Arthur Avenue).
Sage will be speaking with us , interview style, to help us come to a better understanding of how people self identify as a particular gender, the brave choices involved with gender transition, and how we can support and respect an individual’s gender choice through how we address and refer to them.
Sage Milo was until recently an international student at York University, where they completed a PhD in Gender, Feminist & Women’s Studies. Their academic work focused on feminist periodicals in early 20th century England. They are trans (identify as transmasculine non-binary), and have recently started medical transition.
This week music we are delighted to have Cassie Norton back with us to entertain and inspire us with wonderful music.
