<p>When we hear about Leather and Leather history, we often hear about the gay Leatherman who banded together after the second world war and then, later, the lesbians and dykes who stood with the gay Leatherman during the height of the AIDS Crisis. But where were the Trans people, the Gender anarchists and two spirit folx who identified as Leather?</p> <p>We have always been here but rarely spoken about or seen. In the last two decades, many waves of change have come and as Leather evolves so do the members of our community. It&rsquo;s difficult for those people who only remember or identify on the binary spectrum to accept us. You might think it should be easy to for them to understand us, but it seems there is always a stumbling block, hurdle, and worse, those who refuse to acknowledge our validity and expression.</p> <p>THIS CLASS IF FOR THEM. We will talk about the important difference between sex and gender ( THEY ARE NOT THE SAME ), expression, identity, and the pronouns that are only made difficult by those who refuse to accept how we use them! Please join this class if you have questions and confusion around these things. This discussion is designed to help you understand and make sense of things you don&rsquo;t know about or want to. You never know who will come out. It could be your sister, your brother, someone in your Leather or vanilla family. We have always existed and we have always been here. Come learn how to see us and understand us&hellip;.and hopefully, support and stand beside us.</p> <p><strong>Presented by: Domina Alluriah</strong></p>

We have always been here but rarely spoken about or seen. In the last two decades, many waves of change have come and as Leather evolves so do the members of our community. It’s difficult for those people who only remember or identify on the binary spectrum to accept us. You might think it should be easy to for them to understand us, but it seems there is always a stumbling block, hurdle, and worse, those who refuse to acknowledge our validity and expression.

THIS CLASS IF FOR THEM. We will talk about the important difference between sex and gender ( THEY ARE NOT THE SAME ), expression, identity, and the pronouns that are only made difficult by those who refuse to accept how we use them! Please join this class if you have questions and confusion around these things. This discussion is designed to help you understand and make sense of things you don’t know about or want to. You never know who will come out. It could be your sister, your brother, someone in your Leather or vanilla family. We have always existed and we have always been here. Come learn how to see us and understand us….and hopefully, support and stand beside us.
