Everyone talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it, and so it seems to be with self confidence. I believe that self confidence is crucial to finding one's place in this world and one's happiness - CD/TG or not! So why do some seem to have it when others don't? Where does one find it when there seems to be none? How does one go about building it? In this workshop we will discuss what I believe to be the foundation blocks of self confidence, how you can nurture it in yourself, and, once blossomed, how to keep that growth steady and strong.

Every church pats itself on the back by exclaiming that All Are Welcome! But the truth is, this simply three-word statement holds different meanings at different churches. Some, for example, welcome transgender people but will try hard to rehabilitate them through conversion therapy. Others welcome transgender people, but limit the extent to which they can become personally engaged. Inclusive or affirming churches, on the other hand, welcome transgender people fully. In this workshop we will explore the differences in these various kinds of churches, and will discuss red flags that you can use to locate a truly welcoming church in your own community. Participants will have access to the church finder tool developed by Mother Grace specifically for LGBTQ people. The church finder includes just about every Christian denomination. As a former military chaplain, Mother Grace is well versed in all churches. Interest Tags: Not Specified

My first day as a police officer, some as-yet-unidentified man, called 9-1-1 and said “Come and pick up my body.” At that moment, the police dispatcher could hear a large BANG and the phone line remained open. Upon arrival at the residence in question, a man was found lying dead on the kitchen floor with a gun in his right hand and the phone in his left hand, and a blood trail that had oozed its way approximately 10 feet across the room and under the refrigerator. “Welcome to police-work!” As I embarked on a career that would last roughly thirty-years, I realized that I would have to learn to deal with unexpected—and potentially horrific—situations such as the one described above. How then, would I prepare myself for the inevitable onslaught of the things-to-come and remain normal in a very abnormal job?

For me, I became a student of wellness, and proceeded to read many self-help books and attended a number of seminars and presentations (I even got to meet Dr. Wayne Dyer in-person—which was quite a thrill for me). You see, I decided to take charge of my own mental health and wellness very early in my career. This had a profound effect on my ability to remain centered on my own well-being. I knew that in order to accomplish this, I would have to learn new skills and wisdom and transform both myself and my thinking if I were to become the best version of myself.

So, that’s what this session is about: transformative wellness—changing the way you look at things as well as changing yourself, with a view to help you navigate the “slings and arrows” of life and the unforeseen calamities that might come your way. Regardless of your career choices, your gender, your political point-of-view, if you want to arm yourself with a cloak of resiliency in the face of an ever-changing world, then this session is for you!

Since humankind began to define the boundaries of gender behavior, there have been people who have defied or crossed over those boundaries. Hear about some of these individuals, from the 15th century through the 1860s. Some of them were male to female, others of them were female to male. Some of them lived as transgender for most of their lives, others for only brief but significant periods in their lives. The deeds of some of these people have inspired books, plays, movies, and even operas. All of them left a legacy of some sort, including a United States military installation being renamed to honor one of them. Although this seminar has been presented before, Melissa changes the roster of historical figures presented each time she does this seminar. Brief biographies of each individual profiled are available upon request. Interest Tags: Professional Education

Using my story as the background, this workshop is designed to help those who struggle with the anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation that is all to common for many who have diagnosed or undiagnosed Gender Dysphoria. Fortunately, I have survived multiple suicide attempts, prior to being diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria and several plans since. The ways in which I survived are not complicated or hard, and all focused on one key thing, distracting and disrupting the mind so that I would become safe in the moment.

Within this interactive workshop, I will share a brief background of my journey and the effects of gender dysphoria and suicidal ideation. But most importantly, the workshop will focus on simple easy cognitive and behavioral tools that can be deployed easily and quickly in the moment to help keep us, or those we love safe. These come from an article that I have recently finished writing and hope to have published. All of them are things that I have done and experienced personally, to keep myself save physically and emotionally in times of moderate to severe duress as a result of my gender dysphoria.

It is not easy for anyone to talk about the darker sides of our dysphoria, and it is often overlooked, but this session, although it may bring a few tears, is designed to also bring some laughter, singing, even possibly dancing as we continue our journey's of self care, love and acceptance. Whether you, your loved ones, or you work helping those who have transitioned, are considering or are anywhere along their journey, I and confident that you will walk away from this workshop with a greater awareness of the importance of understanding the impacts of gender dysphoria on those who have it, and how to help them in the greatest times of duress to continue their journey another day.

You never know, you may just help save a life one day. Interest Tags: Experience Sharing/Discussion, Family/Friends, Professional Education, Relationships, Safety, Spouses/Signification Others, TransFeminine, TransMasculine, TransPeople of Color, Wellness, Workplace

In working with this community, your presenter has found that discussions often focus on the needs of the transitioning transgender individual, somewhat exclusive to the needs of the relationship with a partner. This seminar will turn the focus to the relationship between the transgender person and their spouse or significant other. Transition is a very difficult time for any couple, and can lead to the loss of the relationship. Your presenter does not believe that this has to be the inevitable outcome and hopes to offer her experience teaching communications skills as a therapist, her experience with her late spouse Jude during transition, and that of friends and acquaintances who have gone through transition of a partner, in the hope that others can find these skills and experiences useful. Aspects discussed includes "couples' transition" and skills in the use of language and negotiation, managing expectations and maintaining open lines of communication. These approaches are proven techniques in couples counseling and can help when facing difficult experiences. Please come join us for discussions and exercises that can help bring a new perspective to the power of language and negotiation.

Bible-thumping bigots and haters use seven very specific Bible passages in their attempts to prove that people like you and me will rot and burn in Hell. We call them the "clobber passages" because they are used to clobber us. Four of them are from the Old Testament (Genesis 1:29, Genesis 19, Leviticus 18:22, and Deuteronomy 23:17-18), and three are from the New Testament (Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9, and 1 Timothy 1:10).

The sad reality is that their understanding of what the holy scriptures really say is way off base. Anti-LGBTQ people cling to an incorrect understanding of what those passages actually mean. This incorrect understanding comes from centuries of bias that have found their way into Bible translation and instruction over time.

In this session we will explore each of these passages, considering their history, context, and original meaning. An accurate understanding of these passages actually affirms the fact that LGBTQ people are part of God's design for the beauty that is humanity.

Please note that it is typically impossible to argue with bigots and haters. The purpose of this session is not to provide defense in debate, but rather simply to set your own mind at ease when you find yourself on the receiving end of such hateful rhetoric. Interest Tags: Not Specified

Every human longs to be known fully and loved unconditionally in safe friendships. Tragically, the skills we often develop to stay safe in our homes, churches, or communities work against us when it comes to building life-giving friendships, especially if we also identify as LGBTQ+. This session will help us understand our relational strategies and how they help or hinder us when it comes to friendship. We’ll also discover that most people like us far more than we think and would be willing to try a friendship with us. And finally, we’ll look at practical strategies available to all of us that both open the door to friendship and can cement it over time. While this break-out will include specific help for a gender expansive audience, anyone longing for deeper connection with others will find helpful, hopeful ways to encourage that connection.

It is no secret that claims of religious freedom have been used as a sword against transgender persons. It doesn't have to be this way. There is a case to be made that hostile acts against transgender persons do not constitute religion at all, but are merely acts of prejudiced notions. Furthermore, there is a case to be made that it is not an act of freedom to limit the freedom of others. Melissa combines law and theology in her presentation.

There are many factors to consider in coming out to your children or loved ones. First, do they need to know at all, if you are not publicly transitioning? Of course, there are the how, when, what, and where issues to tell family, not to mention the developmental level of the kids in question and the knowledge/support of their other parent. These factors will all be addressed in this workshop. Let's talk about your level of comfort with yourself and your existing relationships with your children and family. What are your goals? What do you want them to feel and to understand about this part of you? How can you help them to feel safe and loved through this transition in your family?

Every day we are inundated with images of toxic beauty standards: slim, able-bodied, heteronormative, and most apparent of all, cisgender. In a society where trans/genderqueer people face rejection at best and violence at worst, the idea of purposefully getting in front of a camera can—understandably—be unthinkable. Nevertheless, no matter what stage of transition you are in, you deserve to feel desirable, confident, and happy with your body. Photography can help.

Trans model and photographer Charlie Mesure (he/they) will describe how self-portraiture helped him learn to love his body before and during transition and why it’s so important to him that other people in his community get the chance to feel that same sense of confidence and self-worth. He’ll show examples of his work and give participants the pep talk they need to get in front of the camera (if they feel so inclined).

Participants will receive a crash course in boudoir photography and beyond, including:

• posing basics
• clothing and styling ideas to best fit their body type
• how to establish boundaries with photographers
• trans-friendly lingerie and clothing brands
• makeup and hair basics
• tips on how to not only survive your first photo session but to thrive by the end of it

Being trans/genderqueer in a world that is constantly telling you how you should look is exhausting. You deserve to feel desirable and confident, no matter what your body looks like. People of all gender identities are welcome.
