I will share a few stories from my struggles for truth in symplectic geometry and educating to counter oppression. These are queer stories, as queer-ness is what taught me to be unapologetic about my truths and in solidarity with all struggles for justice.

Bio: Katrin Wehrheim (they/them) is an anti-fascist revolutionary by calling and a global analyst by training. Applying this training to questions in low-dimensional topology and symplectic geometry - while appeasing the power structure with women-in-math outreach activities rather than addressing the real problems - led them to hold positions at ETH Zurich, Princeton University, IAS Princeton, MIT, and UC Berkeley. After gaining tenure, despite losing the battle for proofs in symplectic geometry, their main learning-and-doing has been on matters of fascism, racial capitalism, genocide accountability, reparations, and justice at large. More recently their identities are combining into "mathematics education to counter oppression."
