“Don’t have sex or you will get pregnant and die!” Is a quote you might have heard in a sex education class, or maybe you haven’t had any sex education at all! If you’re curious, want to stay safe, or have no idea what is going on outside of “penis + vagina = sex” then this is the workshop for you.

We’ll delve into how HRT impacts sex, safer same-sex activities, and how bottom surgery can influence experiences in Identity Outlaw: Queer Sex Safety! Free food and books will be provided, and the event is 18+. We encourage everyone of any gender or sexuality to attend.

Registration is NOT required—just come on by!
