Gender Beyond the Binary

Learning Objectives

At the end of this video learners will:

• Understand that gender is experienced in a spectrum of ways and not simply as one of two check boxes
• Become familiar with the historical context and implications of colonization on the idea of a strict gender binary in the US
• Name other cultures from around the world that acknowledge more than 2 genders

Reflection Questions

• How have you reinforced the idea of a gender binary in your own life and in the lives of people around you? (Ex. attending a gender reveal party, encouraging someone to “man up” or “be more ladylike”, etc)
