Word of the Month

Non binary/Nonbinary/Non-binary:

A gender identity and experience that embraces a full universe of expressions and ways of being that resonate for an individual, moving beyond the male/female gender binary. It may be an active resistance to binary gender expectations and/or an intentional creation of new unbounded ideas of self within the world. For some people who identify as non binary there may be overlap with other concepts and identities like gender expansive and gender non-conforming.

Video: Trans Visibility by Jake Graf

Writer and director Jake Graf, recently seen in The Danish Girl, put together this video that features Graf, model and activist Laith Ashley, bodybuilder and YouTuber Kieran Moloney, DJ/model/activist Munroe Bergdorf, and Captain Hannah Winterbourne, the highest ranking transgender officer in the British Army. In it they discuss their biggest fears, their biggest insecurities, and advice they would give to their younger selves.
