Gathering offered chance for trans activists of different generations to share experiences, ideas

The myriad workshops and sessions offered during the five-day National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change in Dallas last weekend included "Trans Rights Now: Building a Strong Transgender Movement," a day-long institute with about 70 in attendance. The gathering focused on issues such as political infrastructure, mentoring new leaders, visibility and strategy sharing.

Those attending the institute said it was as much about being respected and enjoying the fellowship of others as learning activist skills, and that it inspired, invigorated and energized them to continue the effort in achieving equality.
