I am a triple-A activist… Asexual, Aromantic and Agender. Each a lesser known and misunderstood sexual, romantic and gender/trans identity but that are growing slowly in representation and public awareness, with all the benefits and risks that comes with.
My activism centres two goals
To help A-identity people feel seen, valued and to aid those around them to offer the right support and create protective policies and structures.
To bring people together as a community, to have fun, build friendships and feel safe.
Here are some of the many different ways I aim to achieve these goals
- Speaking publicly and in conferences about LGBTQ+ experiences
- This includes keynote speaker, invited speaker, joint-talks, panel chair and panellist both in person and online.
- Often I speak on the intersectionality between A-identities and other marginalised identities, as well as LGBTQ+ experiences in STEM
- My most popular talks are
- Consulting with organisers for inclusive practices
- Facilitating community activities for LGBTQ+ people in person and online
- Workshops are designed to be inclusive for disabled people
- Most popular are the improv workshops (see outreach)
- Facilitating skills workshops for members of the community
- Most popular are communications training workshops (see training)
- Collaborating and creating resources including articles, interviews, reports/thesis, art and zines.
- Collaborating with other activists to serve the community
