September 16, 2019 — Gender feels

Presenter: Ezra Gotzen, PsyD

In “Gender feels” we will discuss how our own gender/gendered feelings, concepts, limitations, cis/transness influence what is possible between our clients and us. We will explore how the positionality of our intersecting identities inform what we can see and what our clients have to force us to see.

Instead of providing an article, I would like class to review and think about the following questions:

1. When and how did I know I was the gender I identity with?
2. What my gender told me about the world I live in?
3. How do I relate to my body based on my gender ( possibilities, limitations)?
