Join us in this free community event at The Emerald Dispensary in Brooklyn.
This is interactive workshop is a collaboration between Queering Existentialism, Goddess Nix & Haus of Toys NYC.
At Haus of Toys, we are committed to embracing the wide spectrum of gender and sexuality through pleasure, personal care and education. We aim to empower and uplift queer voices, while providing the tools to indulge in the highest forms of self love, gender identity and sexuality.
Theres a few things that we want to share with you:
Our passion for learning and education is a fundamental part of what we wan to built for the community and with the astounding lack of inclusive educational resources available, we aim to create space for queer individuals to navigate their sexual health and relationships.
Haus of Toys is committed to curating a safe space for queer people to explore their gender identity and sexuality through accurate and inclusive educational resources. Sex education is a fundamental right for everyone. For many queer and trans people, navigating their sexual health and relationships can be complex and challenging, often due to a lack of inclusive education and resources.
Comprehensive sex education that is inclusive of queer and trans experiences is essential for empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their bodies, health, and relationships. It helps foster a deeper understanding and acceptance of diverse gender identities and sexualities, promoting safer and more fulfilling experiences for all. By prioritizing sex education for queer and trans people, we can create a more inclusive and supportive society where everyone can enjoy healthy, consensual, and fulfilling sexual lives.
