Transgender activist and author Jamison Green explains in his book, Becoming A Visible Man: "For transgendered and transsexual people, their sense of self doesn't line up with their body in various ways, or they may be perceived as belonging to one sex or gender when they actually belong to the other, or they don't feel they belong at all. But people seem to be more closely connected to their gender than to their sex. That's hard to grasp if your sex and gender are aligned, but not so difficult if you are one of the millions of people who are to some extent in-between. ... Gender identity - the sense of self - is stronger than the body, and will find a way to manifest itself." The Pride Alliance is sponsoring a discussion featuring Green on Dec. 1 at 3 p.m. at the Nyumburu Cultural Center.
