The Queer and Trans Youth Council of Santa Cruz County Presents: The Gender Diverse Collection
The QTYC worked hard to create entertaining and informational videos. These include topics such as transgender struggles, how to ask for pronouns, and gender as a whole.
They scripted, filmed, edited, and produced all of the material themselves, facing challenges along the way and developing new skills and experience. They experimented with videography, acting, writing screenplays, and video editing.

This comedic video provides some helpful insight into how to ask people for their pronouns. Including what you should and shouldn’t do, such as making assumptions, or feeling insulted by your pronouns being asked.
Gender Explained: A Brief Summary
