Trans* Lives Matter:  Reflecting/Honoring/Processing  the lives of passed Trans*folks

November 19 | 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.  

LGBT Resource Center | Conference Room

 

This event is to reflect/honor/process the lives of trans*folks who have passed before us, to collectively think about, celebrate, and mourn their lives. This event provides a space for dialogues about the complexities of existing as a Trans*gender /Gender-queer / Gender Non-binary person in a cis-binary society within the context of the United States. There will also be a time for the people involved to collectively create an art piece that can be displayed in a Resource Center to really acknowledge the emotional impact of these lives who have passed. So please come, think, share, eat, celebrate,
cry, process and build community with us.

Drowning in Fire

 

Josh Henneha has always been a traveler, drowning in dreams, burning with desires.

As a young boy growing up within the Muskogee Creek Nation in rural Oklahoma, Josh experiences a yearning for something he cannot tame. Quiet and skinny and shy, he feels out of place, at once inflamed and ashamed by his attraction to other boys. Driven by a need to understand himself and his history, Josh struggles to reconcile the conflicting voices he hears--from the messages of sin and scorn of the non-Indian Christian churches his parents attend in order to assimilate, to the powerful stories of his older Creek relatives, which have been the center of his upbringing, memory, and ongoing experience.

Experiences with 'the Heterosexual Assumption' & Transgender Minority Stress Survey  

 

Psychologists at University of California, Davis, are currently seeking LGBT individuals for participation in two online research studies.

 

The  Experiences with 'the Heterosexual Assumption' is open to all members of the LGBT community and actively explores how experiences with the heterosexual assumption make you feel (http://www.psychsurveys.org/kamclemore/ucd_lgbid).

 

The Transgender Minority Stress Survey is open to transgender, genderqueer, and gender-variant individuals and explores how experiences with misgendering make you feel about yourself and the world around you.

 

You must be over 18 years old to participate. This research has been approved by UC Davis' Institutional Review Board (#394915-1). If you have any questions, please contact the principal investigator Kevin A. McLemore at [email protected].
