What is Gender Odyssey?
Gender Odyssey is a national conference focused on the thoughtful exploration of gender. It is a place for people of all genders to share their experiences and learn from the experiences of others. The conference offers a variety of workshops addressing the logistical and practical aspects of living trans lives. We examine issues of identity and discuss the complex challenges we face in building and sustaining community. We hope that these conversations will offer opportunities for us to challenge ourselves as we recognize and negotiate the impacts of gender, race, size, ability, class, sexuality, and how these and other aspects of identity affect our lives and communities. Through dialogue, peer-led presentations, and sharing skills and expertise, we work to create broader and evolving language, social support, and life pathways that support all gender identities. By doing so, we hope to strengthen ourselves and develop communities that celebrate all expressions of gender at any age.
