Trans people are required to submit a ‘Trans-CV’, amongst other documents, to access gender-affirming surgery in Germany. This practice is deeply discriminatory. The CV is supposed to provide proof of being trans from early childhood – like playing with ponies instead of cars, or preferring baggy jeans over ballet skirts. State-appointed assessors look for stereotypical and rigid ideas of gender, as if clothing, hobbies, or preferences were strictly binary.
But reality is more complex. Most people’s lives, cis or trans, don’t fit into such narrow categories.
In this workshop, we will explore these stereotypes and how they shape our lives. Together, we’ll write our own ‘CVs’ relating to gendered expectations. Cis participants will write a CV for the gender they don’t identify with, while trans participants choose which perspective they’d like to take.
The goal is to spark conversation about how gender norms limit everyone, and to highlight the fluidity of gender in each of us.
