When a freak storm dumped two feet of snow on Columbus, Ohio this spring, it forced TransOhio to cancel its first Transgender and Ally Symposium. Now, barring further natural disasters, the event - featuring trans luminaries Kate Bornstein and Sile P. Singleton - will take place Aug. 22-24. The symposium is just the latest endeavor of TransOhio, and one more reason Columbus is emerging as a new trans hotspot.
One Columbus resident, self-identified queer trans guy Shane Morgan, is the founder and director of TransOhio (transohio.org), which provides resources, education, support and advocacy to improves the lives of Ohio's growing trans populace. Morgan also facilitates the Transgender Support Group at The Center on High, is a member of FTM International Ohio and serves on the board of Stonewall Columbus Board. He co-chairs the city's branch of the National Leather Association and was a presenter at Leather Leadership Conference XI: The Art of Sharing Power.
