Workshop:
Be/Coming: Gender, Sexuality in Feminist Experience Presented by Scott Turner Schofield and Jessica Lynn Johnson
A secular transman who came of age (and came a lot) in a feminist and gay liberation context meets a traditional, conservative Christian heterosexual woman saving it for Jesus – and the two fell madly in love. Join these two performers for some critically-acclaimed storytelling about one very queer journey through arguably the most difficult closet to come out of in a feminist, academic, activist context. Bring your own experience to the table as the presenters take aim at dismantling prejudice to make space to talk about gender, interfaith paths to sexual agency, and the role of spirit in the fight for our lives, our bodies, and the justice we all claim to seek.
