Utah welcomes: Pat Manuel Pat Manuel, also known as Cacahuate (Peanut) is a transmasculine QPOC who has shaped his masculine identity in boxing gyms around Los Angeles, CA. A 5x national amateur champion, Pat was a participant in the first ever Womens Olympic Boxing Trials and was the only vocally out queer fighting in the history of USA Boxings Olympic Box-Offs. Medically disqualified after the first fight of the tournament, Pat struggled with ways other than visibility to aide his community. Since joining the Brown Boi Project in 2013, he has decided to use his knowledge as a trainer and athlete to empower other through physical fitness. Pat created Buffbutch, a website intended to fill the void of queer fitness interests. When he isnt training, Pat is fond of cookies and dreams of becoming a giant robot pilot. At the 6th Annual Gender Conference, we aim to deconstruct gender mythology, explore the implications of socially constructed gender norms, and integrate our many intersecting identities. We are also excited to announce that we will be offering a Kids Like Me Day Camp, in partnership with TEA of Utah, FREE for children potty trained and older. The Day Camp will include fun gender inclusive activities like painting, story time, art projects, games and movies. You can register kids for the Camp when you register for the conference.
