Wednesday | November 17 | 5-7pm 

LGBT Resource Center


In observance of the Transgender Day of Remembrance Friday of week seven, a day set aside to memorialize those who have been killed due to anti-transgender hatred and prejudice, let's better learn how to show our transgender peers and community members love and support on their paths to equality! Come and learn about cisgender privilege through individual and group self-reflection. We'll discuss how unchecked cisgender privilege, leads to blatant and painful transphobia that impedes transgender folks from feeling loved and valued. In addition, we will be looking at the spectrum of sex and gender through an exciting activity that will be empowering no matter how you identify! Come with an open mind, an open heart, and a willingness to participate. Refreshments and cake will be provided! Questions, contact cklemmer@ucsd.edu.

This film is an "alternative feature-length documentary that explores the lives of six black transgender men living in the United States. Through the intimate stories of their lives as artists, students, husbands, fathers, lawyers, and teachers, the film offers viewers a complex and multi-faceted image of race, sexuality and trans identity."
