Not yet! Our space centers the experiences of woman identifying, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary participants and leaders. Our staff and volunteer base is 100% woman identifying or gender-nonconforming and we facilitate through this lens. Until the inequities of the gender binary are completely broken down and removed from our culture, we will continue to uphold a space that is reserved for girls*, women*, trans, gender-nonconforming, and nonbinary folks. BGS invites those who identify as cis males to join us as allies in our other community days such as our Earth Day celebrations, end of year celebrations, and more. We do not however encourage those who identify as cis males to sign up for our surf programs. We expect participants of dominant identities to show up in this space as an ally and participant – please read our POWER & PRIVILEGE community guidelines if you’re curious on how you might be expected to show up.
