 This workshop explores the tangled matrix of “sex” to distinguish biology, gender, and orientation, finding the ways these aspects relate to one another and their importance to us as human beings. Participants will examine how biology, gender, and orientation fit into the binary model, and contrast our cultural perceptions with scientific knowledge on these topics. Deciphering the Matrix brings stunning clarity to these pieces of the puzzle called human identity.
