Professional kinksters by Phobos Onyx

Sunday, June 14 · 9:30 AM–10:45 AM
GA 3 · Workshop/Class

A discussion on being “outted” as a kinkster in a professional workplace. Being “outted” as gay is one thing, but as both gay and a kinkster is a different story. The assumptions, the rumors, the stares are very different. A vanilla world can have a wide array of reactions as that leather band-aid is ripped off, you are pulled out of that gear closet, and the spotlight is on you. This has recently happened to me, and I invite you to discuss the effects it can have on work performance, relationships, mental health, safety, and life moving forward.

SELF is incredibly grateful to our sponsors who make magic possible.
