Participant-led programming at YWCA Cambridge serves cis and trans women and girls, non-binary and Two-Spirit individuals. To help identify who participates in programming read through the descriptions below:
Cis woman/girl: Cis-woman/girl is used to describe someone whose gender identity corresponds with their sex assigned at birth. This person was a woman/girl at birth and still identifies as a woman/girl.
Trans woman/girl: Someone who lives as a woman/girl today but was thought to be a man/boy when she was born.
Non-binary: Non-binary is used to describe someone who is not a part of the gender binary and does not identify with any specific gender. This is a gender identity that is more than just male or female.
Two-spirit: Two-spirit is used to describe an Indigenous way of encompassing cultural, spiritual, sexual, and gender identity. This is someone who identifies as having both a masculine and feminine spirit.
