Alok Vaid-Menon Speaking Topics

Fighting for Trans Ordinariness

So much of the mainstream political discussion about transgender and gender-nonconforming identity is rooted in conflict. Rights denied; rights demanded. The activist, writer and comedian Alok Vaid-Menon acknowledges those fundamental, often violent clashes but comes at them from a place of peace and compassion.
Beyond the Gender Binary

In this performance-lecture ALOK presents a 21st century approach to gender rights, calling for an end to the gender binary. The gender binary -• the maintenance of two separate and opposite genders -• is a system of power that exists to create conflict and division. This false choice of boy or girl, man or woman, male or female is not natural -• it is political. We deserve more options. Gender diversity is an integral part of our existence. It always has been, and it always will be.

Femme in Public

What feminine part of yourself did you have to destroy in order to survive in this world? At what point does femininity become synonymous with apology? Who hurt the people who hurt you? ALOK is trying to figure it out. Join for an evening of poetry, stand-up comedy, drag, and more as they take their audience on an emotional roller coaster all the way from the personal to the political.
