Hey there! 🤑

Are you Two-Spirit, Trans* or Gender-Nonconforming?

If yes, welcome! if no, this might not be for you... (sorry!) but maybe you know some trans* folx that you can send this along to!

We're creating a play about the intersection of trans* identity and money.

To best represent a wide array of trans* experiences in relation to modern capitalism, we're reaching out to our community! (you!)

Our hope is that you will fill out the form (linked below and in our bio) and come hang out with us (digitally) for an hour to discuss how money and class have shaped your unique trans* experience! We will also chat about our goals for this project, and share openly to get to know each other a bit.

These discussions can happen in English, French or ASL. If you require any accessibility needs, please list them in the form and we will do our best to provide!

THE FORM: https://forms.gle/C4rjEpoBM6ZnrK6f6

We will prioritize intersectionally marginalized applicants, such as IBPOC and disabled folx, and particularly older trans* people and elders. We hope to connect with as many folx as we can within our capacity. We welcome you to share this with any friends and family that you think could find this interesting.

$ 50.00 HONORARIUM PROVIDED

Please contact [email protected] if you need support in filling out this application.

Thanks to & for making this possible!

Thank you from the bottom of our trans* hearts!
