There are so many entry points with the potential to jostle us awake from what we may perceive to be "just the way things are"-- and gender binary is one of those (major) ways our culture can get stuck in black-and-white thinking... which is, as you know because you're here, pretty incongruent with the idea of being better educated. Finn Menzies shares queerness as one entry point--one portal-- to being able to see and live more freely. So let's dig into it!
FINN MENZIES, HE/HIM Co-founder, trainer, workshop facilitator & consultantFinn Menzies has been an educator for over 10 years. He has taught in classrooms ranging from preschool to college. Currently a kindergarten teacher, his priority is creating an environment that promotes connection, awareness, and curiosity.
Finn is well known in his community as a teacher of trans experience. He offers guidance to LGBTQ families & has shared his story as a part of FLASH, King County’s comprehensive sexuality education curriculum.
When Finn is not teaching kids or consulting grownups, he is either writing poetry about the magic and the albatross of growing up as a trans man or facilitating UNdoing Ego: a writer's workshop on meditation and generative writing.
