Spirited Conversation: Understanding Gender Identity
This workshop on gender identity and language, inclusion and allyship will offer valuable insights and tools to foster inclusivity and respect for all.
The workshop will explore key concepts such as what gender is, common identity terms, the importance of pronouns, and strategies for using gender-inclusive language. It will also provide practical guidance on how to be an active ally to gender-diverse individuals in personal, professional, and faith spaces.
Whether you're new to these topics or looking to deepen your understanding, this workshop will offer valuable insights and tools to foster inclusivity and respect for all.
The workshop will be led by Mace Malcolm (they/them). They are a member of the Durham Street Methodist congregation. Mace is a trans non-binary, queer, Pākehā, social worker who works as a School Coordinator for InsideOUT Kōaro. As part of this role, they support schools to create safer, more inclusive environments for rainbow young people through training and policy development.
This is part of a monthly series of Spirited Conversations sponsored by Durham Street Methodists, as part of our commitment to bringing critical thinking, and ethical and spiritual insights to important issues of the day for the city and its diverse people.
As is usual, for those who like kai with their kōrero, it will also be followed by an optional meal at a local Thai restaurant, where we can continue the conversation.
