Hey there!
Are you Two-Spirit, trans* or gender non-conforming?
If yes, welcome! if no, this might not be the right place for you... (sorry!) but maybe you know some trans* folx that you can send this along to!
Our names are Merlin (they/she/iel/elle) and Gabe (they/them) and 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 this form to 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.
We know that this might be a big ask and we also know that the COVID-19 pandemic has put a lot of us in a precarious financial situation, thus we will pay selected participants $50.00 for the time spent with us!
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!
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.
Please contact Jules (they/she) at
bigTcollective@gmail.com if you need support in filling out this application.
Thank you from the bottom of our trans* hearts!
trans* is an umbrella term – in addition to including people whose gender identity is the opposite of their assigned sex at birth (i.e. trans men and trans women), it may include people who are not exclusively masculine or feminine (i.e. nonbinary and gender-nonconforming people), or gender-variant folx who belong to a third or fourth gender (i.e. Two-Spirit, Hijra, or Māhū).
