Viva the gender revolution! As we evolve so does our idea of gender so thank goodness for ongoing conversations on the topic. Like Lauren Lubin’s new film We Exist: Beyond the Binary which explores life outside the gender binary. Lauren’s work shatters traditional, antiquated constructs that defines gender as either male or female. Lauren identifies as gender neutral and uses they/them/theirs as their pronouns. Lauren says,“One of the most valuable assets that has helped me to fully come into my own is unequivocally education. Education is knowledge and it is such knowledge which has empowered me to understand myself as well as another. Gender identity and expression are two important components of a well-rounded education. I hope to shed light on both the importance and inclusion of having such education throughout the education system and simple ways we can begin to do just that.” The film will step into the spotlight as it kicks off Boulder Pridefest with two exclusive screenings on September 6 in Boulder. Lauren is also an avid runner and athlete. They made headlines in 2015 with their“WE RUN” campaign by becoming the first ever non-binary Marathoner, to come out and openly compete on the international stage in efforts to raise recognition in the sporting world. In November 2016, Lauren will be the first non-binary Marathoner to compete in the coveted New York City Marathon. Lauren is also the founder of New York City’s first non-binary running group, Andro Runners, which is dedicated exclusively to non-binary athletes.
