More than 2,000 people from across the country attended the 10th annual Philadelphia Trans Health Conference at the Pennsylvania Convention Center from Thursday, June 2, through Saturday, June 4.
The conference, which focuses on the issues and needs of those who identify as trans, began as what its Web site described as a "one-day gathering of transgender activists, allies and service providers" in 2002. 1,400 people attended last year's conference. And it has become the world's largest trans-specific gathering.
