GenderTalk at UPENN

Join Penn Non-Cis with support from the Penn LGBT Center for the 3rd annual GenderTalk, an open mic night on trans and gender identities, issues, and experiences. Come hear poetry, music, spoken word, and much more delivered by trans and gender non-conforming people from all around Philadelphia! There will be free food. Saturday, November 22, 7:00pm at the University of Pennsylvania - Claudia Cohen Hall (249 S. 36th Street)

Everyone is invited and welcome to attend, but we encourage you to submit a piece or sign up to perform. They welcome all kinds of performances, including poetry, monologues, songs, music and more! All pieces must either pertain to the topic of gender identity/expression OR be written by a person who identifies as trans, gender non-conforming, or non-cisgender (and can then be on any topic). Anonymous submissions are welcome - we'll find someone to read it for you!

Please let us know if you'd like to perform or submit a piece by filling out this form (advance sign up is highly encouraged, though we will have room for people to sign up to perform the day of the event).

The space is wheelchair accessible and has accessible gender-neutral single stall bathrooms. If you have any other accessibility needs, please email pennnoncis@gmail.com and they will do our best to accommodate them!
