Introduction

Cahoots Workshop is a safe, welcoming, and supportive space designed exclusively for women and gender minorities. We aim to foster creativity, collaboration, and community in an environment free from discrimination and harassment.

Cahoots Workshop is not defined by bodies or documentation, we are defined by exclusion. The Workshop exists to counter gendered exclusion from practical skills and spaces.

Eligibility

This space is reserved for:

• Women, including cisgender and transgender women.
• Transgender men.
• Non-binary, genderqueer, gender diverse and other gender-expansive people.

We kindly ask that individuals who do not identify within these groups respect the purpose of this space by not entering or using the Workshop.

Trans men are named here in their own right. Cahoots Workshop exists to counter the exclusion of people from practical skills and spaces on the grounds of gender, and that exclusion applies to trans men. Most were kept away from the tools growing up, and they are frequently shut out of both women’s and men’s spaces. Including them is a direct expression of our kaupapa, not an exception to it.

Self-Identification

Gender is a person's deeply felt internal sense of being male, female, non-binary, or something else. Nobody will be asked to prove or justify their gender.

Exceptions

At certain times Cahoots staff will waive this policy for specific events or essential reasons.  Any time that the policy is to be waived will be strictly defined, limited, and communicated in advance to members and users of the Cahoots Workshop.

This policy does not apply to children under 14 years old. This exception is intended to support caregivers by allowing them to bring children into the Cahoots Workshop.
