SUMMARY:Are Bisexuals Just Greedy? Public Book Launch (in person event & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate and enjoy a reading and Q & A with acclaimed author\, Fiona Dawson\, as she launches her nonfiction book\, Are Bisexuals Just Greedy? Animated Answers for All People Who Simply Want to Understand the Spectrum of Being LGBTQ+\, with special guest Hannah Simpson. \nHow is gender identity different from sexual orientation? Do our genitals predict our gender? Why is it important to use a person’s correct pronouns? Fiona Dawson (she/her) answers these questions and more in her candid picture book for people old enough to swear and talk about sex\, Are Bisexuals Just Greedy?. \nThis book will be available for purchase\, and Debi Jackson\, the self-described “conservative Southern Baptist Republican from Alabama” now speaking on behalf of transgender children and their families around the world\, has this to say …. “With compassion and humor\, Fiona has created an easy and direct read for parents wanting to understand their kids’ LGBTQ+ identities. Definitely have this book at home over the holidays.” \nCopies of Are Bisexuals Just Greedy?  will be available for purchase at the event. \nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us! \nThis event is co-sponsored by GLAAD and DIVA Magazine. \nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \nAlso live-streaming: youtube.com/@bgsqd \n  \nSuggested donation $10 to benefit the Bureau’s work. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without donation. \nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register. \n  \nFiona Dawson (she/her) is an Emmy®-nominated and award-winning filmmaker\, speaker\, and author who has been advocating for the LGBTQ+ community for over two decades. Her short film “Transgender\, at War and in Love” (2015) for The New York Times and feature documentary “TransMilitary” (2018) helped elevate the stories of active-duty transgender service members to end their ban from the US military. Relating her personal experiences as a cisgender\, gay\, and then bisexual woman\, Fiona dissolves stereotypes to reveal vulnerability\, courage\, and empathy in various media forms through her company\, Free Lion Productions. \n  \nHannah Simpson (she/her) is a nationally-known transgender and pansexual writer and speaker who believes not hiding her past will help others to stop hiding their futures. She has been featured by Refinery29\, the Guardian\, the Advocate\, MSNBC\, Fox 5 News\, and on a segment of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Hannah was alongside US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the two rally speakers before the 2019 Women’s March Alliance March on New York City. In pandemic times\, Hannah became a nurse’s aide in a COVID ICU\, a morgue tech\, and responded to Hurricane Ida in Louisiana with the Red Cross. Find her running her own business selling pride pins and Judaica on Etsy called ChangedMe\, as in\, “I didn’t change my gender. My gender changed me.”
