Program Description

Event Details

The words we use to describe ourselves and others matter. They reveal cultural norms and hidden biases. Say What? explores the language surrounding LGBTQ+ culture through historical and linguistic lenses. Clare McCarthy, an educator, transgender advocate, author, and producer/host of Transqat the Podcast, will lead a presentation rooted in honesty, humor, research, and lived experience. All are welcome to attend! 

A former Latin teacher of 33 years, Clare has long practice presenting complex, unfamiliar material in an accessible way. Transqat the Podcast is a safe space for respectful conversations about transgender issues. It’s a place for queer people to tell their stories. Each episode is a long-form conversation. Clare’s guests have included medical, legal, and mental health experts; faith leaders; artists; creators; parents; and queer youth.
