WEW: 'Toilet Training' Documentary Screening
Join Medical Services Director Beth Kotarski, HCAB, and the Gender Inclusion Committee for a screening of Toilet Training, a documentary by Tara Mateik about bathroom accessibility for trans people.
Documentary Information: "Toilet Training is a documentary video and collaboration between transgender videomaker Tara Mateik and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project, an organization dedicated to ending poverty and gender identity discrimination. The video addresses the persistent discrimination, harassment, and violence that people who transgress gender norms face in gender segregated bathrooms. Using the stories of people who have been harassed, arrested or beaten for trying to use bathrooms, Toilet Training focuses on bathroom access in public space, in schools, and at work."

A moment. A unique threshold of time. Time compiled into memories, memories that ground stories, and stories that become us. Throughout our lives, we live through experiences. They celebrate us through our identity, and they can illustrate the trajectory of our lives or even explain how everything fell into place. These are the stories we hold. Whether you tell your story through words, dance, or art. Your very presence in this world, your story is uniquely yours to share, an inspiration and a reminder that you matter and are deserving. Please join HCAB in Wellness Education Week 2023 through a keynote, workshop series and activities that illustrate how the stories we hold can also become the stories we tell.
