TRISTAN KATZ (they/he) is a queer, trans facilitator and educator whose work focuses on LGBTQ+ inclusion, power, and cultural accountability.
Their work weaves together education, reflection, and practical tools to help individuals and organizations take meaningful action. With a focus on authenticity, accountability, and care, Tristan creates spaces where people can learn, grow, and engage with complexity in ways that lead to real change.
CREATING SAFER SPACES is for people who care deeply about LGBTQIA+ inclusion and want to move beyond “I support this” into more embodied practice.
Across 12 hours—and six weekly sessions—we’ll look at what it means to create relationships and spaces where power is named, impact matters, repair is possible, and those most affected by oppression are centered with more care.
A deeper kind of LGBTQIA+ inclusion training
Together, we’ll explore:
→ Gender beyond the binary
→ Pronouns, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation
→ Power, privilege, positionality, and cisheteronormativity
→ How harm happens and how to respond
→ What solidarity can look like in action
→ How to avoid virtue-signaling, tokenization, and performative inclusion in your work, marketing, facilitation, leadership, and community spaces.
This is not about getting everything right. It’s about deepening your capacity.
Your capacity to stay present when you feel activated, to notice power and privilege in real time, to interrupt harm without collapsing into shame or self-doubt, to keep learning, repairing, and showing up with integrity.
Because ignorance is human. Not knowing is human. Making mistakes is human. The work is what we do next.
I am often hungering for the "so what, now what" part of reflection and I had that in my work with Tristan. Finally!
