GenSexNYC is a volunteer-organized, multi-week discussion- and activity-based workshop. At weekly facilitated meetings, participants explore different facets of identity and how they intersect: gender, sexuality and pleasure, race and ethnicity, communication and consent, class, health and ability, and others. Each topic is discussed in the framework of privilege and oppression. Personal narratives can be spoken or expressed creatively, and meetings also include a variety of collaborative group activities. While facilitators provide readings and other educational resources, participants are also welcome and encouraged to share new or additional resources.

By recounting and listening, we challenge our assumptions and learn from our peers as a community, setting aside judgment to validate each others' ideas and experiences. GenSexNYC becomes a safer space by encouraging mutual acceptance, and by extension a braver platform for sharing vulnerable thoughts and stories.

GenSexNYC strives to include people of all genders, races, ethnicities, sexualities, incomes, ages, religions, and abilities.
