Why GSRD?

The GPTI community started an open dialogue last year on the theme of Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD) and agreed that this would be continued and expanded at the residential conference. In responding to this, GPTI wanted to offer the opportunity to explore our understanding and felt a sense of our experience, and the ways we resonate (or don’t) within our wider situations.

The residential conference will include a keynote speaker, various workshops and experiential events, community meetings, the AGM.

There will be opportunities for socialising throughout the weekend, with a dinner and entertainment on Saturday evening.

Keynote Speaker: Vikram Kolmannskog

On the Saturday of the conference, Vikram will present his keynote speech and lead a related experiential activity on aspects of our conference. He will also stay for other parts of the conference. We look forward to welcoming his warmth, playfulness, and insight to enhance our exploration of gender, sexuality and relationship diversity.

Comments and responses emerging from the Lancaster conference

“This event has made it possible to voice what otherwise has been invisible… unvoiceable.”

“Participants spoke of the fractures in friendships when they found themselves across the ‘divide’ of Trans-positive/Transphobic debate. This really is the precipice for me and one I am committed to continue to approach and address but IT IS NOT EASY!”

“GSRD means that everyone here is implicated, not just those in a minority.”

We would be interested in offers of workshops or other activities.
