Transgender Awareness Week 2011 kicked off yesterday with a Q&A panel led by transgender-identified Stanford students and "Trans 101," an informational session featuring activist Jamison Green. Several other talks and performances will take place in the coming days.

Transgender Awareness Week seeks to "raise awareness of transgender issues and the idea that transgender issues are distinct from what most people think of as gay issues," said Alok Vaid-Menon '13, co-president of Stanford Students for Queer Liberation (SSQL).

This week's planned events include a talk by Autumn Sandeen, a transgender-identified U.S. Navy veteran, on the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" this Friday. Discussions on transgender health and legal issues and a performance by local transgender-identified rapper Katastrophe are also set to take place.
