A University of Manitoba recreation professor is organizing drag and gender play workshops for “queer children” with the goal of helping them affirm their “complex gender identities.”

Dr. Fenton Litwiller, who identifies as “non-binary” and uses “they/them” pronouns, seeks to “create spaces for queer joy” with a gender, youth, sexuality, and play project – which is made possible in part by funding from the Government of Canada.
