Event Details

This year has shown us our opposition’s next strategy for stigmatizing and dehumanizing trans people: pushing trans youth out of school sports. This panel will discuss what we learned this year, how this tactic is targeting the South, and how far we have to go to counter it. Panelists will discuss messaging and organizing responses, key areas of leverage for TGNC and allied communities, and how this tactic is driving a wedge between us and our usual allies.

Ryan Li Dahlstrom, Director of the Fund for Trans Generations, Borealis Philanthropy
Rebby Kern, Director of Education Policy at Equality North Carolina
Anne Lieberman (they/them) Director of Policy & Programs for Athlete Ally
