Sunday, July 9, 1-4 pm -- ALL ABOUT T! A workshop about testosterone
At the Center for Sex & Culture, 398 11th St., SF. $10-30 sliding
scale, no one turned away for lack of funds.
All About T is a workshop that provides an overview of the practical
aspects of testosterone use for female-to-male (FTM) transsexuals. This
workshop covers what every FTM—and anyone considering FTM
transition—should know about testosterone, covering types of T, social
misconceptions of T, administration methods of testosterone administration,
permanent and non-permanent changes, physical risks, potential emotional and
sexual-outlook changes, and more. The workshop is also suitable for
allies, sex educators, and professionals who want a better understanding of
the hormonal aspects of FTM transition.
Workshop Background:
Through a search for information to guide my own transition, it came to
my attention how astonishingly little information is readily available
about testosterone for FTM transitioning. Equally astonishing was how
little the majority of transitioned FTMs know about the use of
testosterone—the potential risks, treatment options, suggested medical
monitoring, etc. I also became aware of how many pre- or non-transitioned
people were grappling with whether or not to take testosterone—without the
benefit of full information about the risks and consequences of its use,
both from a medical perspective and for the implications for change in
their everyday lives. Adding to this situation, medical professionals
are often inadequately informed of the proper treatment methods for FTM
hormonal transition, and consequently, are frequently of little help.
Even for those health care providers who are relatively informed, they
are usually too short of time and too ill-equipped to prepare thei
r client for the physical and practical ramifications of transitioning.
This presentation is an attempt to remedy that lack of information
about testosterone use for transitioning.
I have found that too much of the academic work on transgenderism and
transsexuality primarily focuses on theory, which neglects and leaves
invisible the day-to-day realities of trans lives. As a result, an
additional intention of this workshop is to offer a glimpse into the
practicalities of FTM transitioning, for those who are not trans themselves, in
the hopes that a deeper understanding will allow allies to become even
better allies. By giving this workshop, I hope to build a bridge that
begins to fill that gap of understanding between theory and praxis.

Wednesday, July 19, 7 pm -- TRANSGENDERISM AND INTERSEXUALITY:
DIFFERENCES AND COMMONALITIES
At the Center for Sex & Culture, 398 11th St., SF. $5-30 sliding scale,
no one turned away for lack of funds.
What do the terms “transgender” and “intersexual” cover? Where do
issues converge and diverge between the two categories? Workshop attendees
will develop a better understanding of the different forms of
transgenderism and intersexuality, the vocabulary used in relationship to these
two categories, and the political and activist struggles of trans and
intersexed people.
Within gender studies and in LGBT activist circles, both transgenderism
and intersexuality have become the cause celebre. Despite this newfound
interest, many people have little understanding or misconstrued ideas
about transgenderism and intersexuality, sometimes confusing one for the
other. The purpose of this workshop is to increase understanding of the
political needs of transpeople and intersexed people, through deepening
understanding of the two categories and the institutional issues of
both—where the commonalities lie and where they diverge.
Participants will emerge with a better understanding of the categories
“transgender” and “intersex”, acquire relevant vocabulary, and develop
a better understanding of the political and legal issues that
transpeople and intersexed people face. Attendees will have a better
appreciation for where trans and intersex issues overlap and where they separate,
in order to become better allies.

Adult Sexuality Education: Principles and Practices
Thursday, August 31, 6:30-9:30, $25
When it comes to teaching workshops on sexuality topics for adults,
most educators have had to build their repertoires from personal
experience and observation. But there’s a huge field of adult education that you
can use to make your teaching more effective and fun for you and your
learners. Charlie Glickman will help you understand the essentials of
this far-reaching body of research and apply the core principles to your
topics and audiences. You’ll learn tips to help you create learning
objectives that shape your entire curriculum, skills to inspire and
support motivation in your learners, how to adapt your teaching to your
audience and ways to constructively use exercises to both reinforce and
assess learning. Whether you teach one-night sessions or semester-long
classes, this introductory workshop will give you a strong yet flexible
framework to build your lessons on, give you more confidence in your
teaching and free you to focus on what you enjoy talking about--sex!
Please email Charlie at workshops@charlieglickman.com to register. In
your email, please briefly describe your experience teaching workshops
on sexuality topics and two things you'd like to learn from this
workshop. Charlie will email you to confirm your registration.
