City panel gathers information about transgender issues


Members of the transgender community spoke to about 40 people Thursday night at a forum aimed at increasing awareness about transgender issues.

The forum was hosted by Plymouth Congregational Church, 925 Vt., and followed a showing of the 2004 documentary film, "Call me Malcolm," about a transgendered seminarian student.

Several members of the city's Human Relations Commission attended the gathering as part of an information-gathering process about a proposed change to the city's anti-discrimination policy, said Commission Chair Lori Tapahonso. The commission was asked by the City Commission in May to study a proposal to add transgender identity status to the list of protected categories in the city's anti-discrimination policy.
