Part 2: Beyond the Binary
Training Overview
Did you know that 1 out of 4 LGBTQ youth and 1 out of 10 LGBTQ adults are non-binary? With an estimated 343,000 LGBTQ people living in NJ, that means that there are nearly 35,000 (if not more) non-binary people–– living in the state of NJ. Building on Part 1 of the TransAffirmingNJ series, this training further explores what it means to be non-binary, and the ways in which the world can be uniquely hostile for our non-binary peers. This training explores non-binary specific terminology, cultural context, and best practices to ensure non-binary people are being respected and valued. Through activities and group discussion, we will learn the history behind non-binary communities and identities, practice using affirming pronouns, and learn to identify and interrupt common microaggressions non-binary people face.
Please Note: This course runs from 10:30 AM to 12 PM. Participants must attend the entire training in order to receive a certificate of completion. Completion of this training is required to attend the final course in this series.
