Gender Talk 

Gender Talk

What other kinds of events does this program offer?

In addition to the monthly discussion events, Gender Talk also offers social programming throughout the academic year. Some events we have hosted in the past include film screenings and crafting sessions!

Are there any rules?

Building an inclusive and affirming shared space requires that we all work together. We encourage all attendees to share opportunities to speak and to approach conversations with an open mind. Experiences and ideas shared during discussion may be unfamiliar to you or may even be very different from your own. These will be great opportunities for us to grow and learn together. Please also respect the confidentiality of other attendees.

What if I have other questions or suggestions?

If you have an idea for a Gender Talk discussion or if you have other questions, you are encouraged to attend a session and chat with the hosts after the discussion. You are also welcome to contact us.

Gender Talk is a monthly peer-led discussion program taking place on Fridays from 12:00 – 1:30 pm. We welcome all members of the University of Toronto who identify as trans, transgender, nonbinary, genderqueer, or who are questioning their gender identity to come together to talk about topics you are interested in or issues that impact your life.

Topics this program has covered in the past include “home and family,” “navigating the healthcare system,” “dating and relationships,” “race and racism,” and so much more. Connect with other students and guest facilitators as we share our thoughts, experiences and questions.
