Join the Haverhill Public Library, Amesbury Public Library, Bigelow Free Public Library, Gleason Public Library, Pollard Memorial Library, Saugus Public Library, and Topsfield Town Library for a talk about gender diversity!
This workshop will discuss introductory information pertaining to gender identity and the use of pronouns. There is a scheduled time for questions from the audience and to engage in a conversation around supporting transgender and nonbinary community members.
Álvaro Gamio Cuervo will be speaking. They will introduce themselves:
"My name is Álvaro Gamio Cuervo and I use they/them pronouns. I didn’t always know I was trans, in part due to language barriers. A lot of how we talk about transness in this society comes from mostly white academics. Gender non-conformity is in everything you do when you come from different background. Yet, the trans people I knew growing up weren’t out in my community. That’s a choice they made, oftentimes a strategic way to survive. Why should you come out when you are already facing so much marginalization?"
