Beyond Gender

Sunday October 20, 2019 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm


Science fiction has broached the subject of gender identity, but usually from a cis-centered viewpoint. This panel will discuss topics concerning trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people that writers can address in their stories, such as coming out, choosing a pronoun, or deciding on a new first name.
