The More They Stay the Same: Connecting Trans History and Contemporary Attacks

Free RSVP, Donations accepted

Join Elliot Marrow, Clinical Psychology doctoral candidate at UMass Boston, for a presentation titled "The More They Stay the Same: Connecting Trans History and Contemporary Attacks," discussing the connections between trans and queer histories and current attacks on trans and gender non-conforming people.

Trans and queer resistance to being "cured," criminalization of identities, severe limits to accessing gender-affirming care, and fights for bodily autonomy in gender-affirming care and abortion have interconnected histories. Elliot will draw primarily from his own archival research regarding the history of assessments for access to gender-affirming care. The presentation will be recorded, the Q&A will not.

RSVP on Eventbrite, link to the Zoom will be sent out the day of the event. Email info@historyproject.org with any questions. For security purposes, Zoom meetings require an authenticated Zoom account, so please be sure to register with Zoom prior to the event.

This event is free and open to the public.
