Chris Bien/The Hoya - Donna Rose, author and advocate for the transgender community, spoke in the Intercultural Center Tuesday night.

Donna Rose, a transsexual who champions the right of self-expression, spoke Tuesday about her personal experiences and challenged traditional views of gender roles as part of Gender Liberation Week.

Rose, an author and advocate for the transgender community, acknowledged that although transexuality is an uncomfortable subject for many, it is one that must be addressed.

"If you don't put a face to it, things will never change," she said.
