This year’s Gender Odyssey Family conference, held at the Washington State Convention Center, tackled an enormous range of issues around gender and the family:
From Seattle WA to Washington DC, trans kids and Gender Odyssey are making waves in the press! May this reach more families in need for next year’s conference.
My GO experience: After going for many years, I FINALLY went to some surgery workshops and I'm so glad. So great to have all that experience--patients and doctors--in one place. And I volunteered for the first time, which I recommend to your readers; they can always use some help and it's a good way to not just feel like an isolate, atomized consumer at the conference (if you're not already presenting).
So happy to hear you went and had an amazing experience!
This sounds similar to my own journey. The turning point was definitely going to my first conference (in Philly), and the Show And Tell Chest Surgery workshop literally changed my life. I also volunteered as a way to get into conferences and be more active in the community! You get to meet the organizers and have an excuse to talk to people.
(And, if we met, please remind me of your name because it’s hard to put a face to the online avatar.)
Gender Odyssey - an international conference, a thoughtful exploration of gender - took place August 2015 in Seattle. Here's what happened.
1. Gender!
It’s pretty much the entire point of the conference. Yet it’s not just transgender talk; we’re here to talk about Gender, in general, for everyone.
What is Gender? What does it mean to be a man or a woman?
Most folks go their whole lives without giving Gender a second thought. Lucky for them, we’re here to change that.
And now, dear readers, I want to know, what has happened in your Gender Odyssey?

The definitive truth of gender, or Bornstein’s Theory of Relativity - a clip from Kate Bornstein’s keynote address at Gender Odyssey: ‘Trans - The Impossible Family.’
If you think you’re all good on transgender politics because you immediately agreed to call Caitlyn Jenner a she, and you think "tranny" is a forbidden curse word, self-described “queer and pleasant danger" Kate Bornstein wants to make things a little bit more difficult.
Gender Odyssey was awesome, in no small part thanks to the inspiration bestowed by Kate Bornstein, who reminded us we a Trans family, one big “We”
If you missed Kate or Andrea’s keynote, we also live-tweeted that and a few sessions at twitter.com/GenderOdyssey, plus gorgeous pics at GO’s FB Page, or follow #GOcon2015 on social media.
