UPC Nebraska, in partnership with the LGBTQA+ Resource Center & Women’s Center, presents Kate Bornstein on Wednesday, September 16, 2020 at 7:30 p.m. via Zoom.

Since 1989, trans trailblazer Kate Bornstein has—with humor and spunk—ushered us into a world of limitless possibility through a daring re-envisionment of the gender system as we know it. Kate identifies as nonbinary: not a man, and not a woman—and she’s been writing about nonbinary gender identity for nearly thirty years. She looks beyond the gender binary to see gender as both a conscious practice, and a playful journey.

Join us for a cozy evening with your very own Auntie Kate, who promises you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll gasp out loud as she speaks about the last thirty years of her life identified as queer and trans. Her performance is at once deeply personal and universally acceptable, weaving together stand-up comedy, theatrical monologues, and heart-to-heart storytelling to convey the experience of her long, rich nonbinary trans life.

The event, which will take place in a live Zoom session is primarily for UNL students. To join, students should follow the Zoom link located on NvolveU. Zoom licensing restrictions will limit event attendance to 300 participants.
