How do you assert yourself if you are still figuring out your gender? What do you even assert? How do we frame our unique experience in a constructive way, meaning that we aren't simply basing our gender on what we are not? Or do we assert what we are not and let the world figure it out? Self Advocacy. What the heck does that even mean in a genderqueer/nonbinary/gender nonconforming context? And how do we access it when many of us struggle with mental health issues?
Let's talk about it!
Silly question of the day will be: What is the best introduction to a person you've ever made or received?

Genderqueer Chicago is as safe a space as we can make it. To help with this, we have some working agreements that we would like all who come to meetings to keep in mind while within our safe space meetings. Please check out our working agreements
here.
Safe space meetings are strictly closed to researchers and reporters in their professional capacities. Meetings are open to anyone else wanting to talk and think about gender! For more info, give us a shout at genderqueerchicago@gmail.com!
