Trans-What?

The campus recently embraced an incredibly powerful exhibit: "T-Town Transgender Neighbors: A Portrait Exhibition." This exhibit shared personal experiences through first-person narratives, accompanied by portraits. The stories described early notions of gender incongruence, the process of coming out, and steps forward from that moment.
Have you ever thought about what it means to not have a gender-neutral restroom, to worry about how to approach college sports or how to explain to a professor or roommate that you are transitioning? Or what it means to wonder, "What box do I check: male or female?"
