How To Write About Gender [Webinar]

Join Bunny McKensie Mack for their How to Write Copy That Affirms Trans and Nonbinary Communities webinar on October 24!

Over the past three years, our collective understanding of gender identity and gender expression has evolved quickly. But just because our collective understanding of gender is changing doesn’t mean we still don’t struggle individually to break free from thinking and writing about gender in a way that causes harm to trans and gender nonbinary people.

We now know that gender is a spectrum, not a binary, but how do we incorporate that knowledge into our copy in a way that affirms trans people and communities? How To Write About Gender is a 1-hour workshop for writers, editors, and consultants looking to make their copy and the copy of their clients LGBTQ affirming.

We’ll cover how to:

  • Edit your copy for transphobic language and binary thinking.

  • Apply self-reflection and extensive analysis to dismantle incorrect understanding of gender identity and gender expression.

  • Correct the most common faux pas of gendered language.

  • Use TGNC affirming language in your copy.

  • Apologize through a lens of equity and anti-oppression when we make mistakes.

  • Compose copy that is inclusive of varied gender identities and expressions.

Can’t attend live? No problem. All participants will receive the recording of the webinar once it’s over.
