Abstract: Traditional human rights education (HRE), and education writ-large, often depends on and reinforces binary hierarchies. The Society of Gender Professionals (SGP) reflects on how its trans-national, digital communities of practice ("Gender Circles") are actively "queering" traditional HRE. This article shares reflections and learnings from 14 one-on-one interviews with Gender Circle participants, most notably from the Breaking Gender/Sex Binaries Circles. By facilitating spaces that co-create knowledge, build community, and center lived experiences of people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC,) SGP disrupts and queers binaries and hierarchies in education and other constructs, such as with Global South/North dynamics and in gender work (traditionally focused on cisgender women and girls). Key findings include: SGP's impact on participant learning; participants' assessment of the Circles' learning environment; participants' assessment of to what extent SGP centers marginalized voices (e.g. queer/trans, Global South); and challenges in participating in the Circle.
