Adolescence is a tender time full of profound self-discovery. Coming into your own is complicated enough. Many transgender youth face extra challenges posed by the attitudes/ideologies of peers and adults, the practices and policies of the institutions in which they engage, and political efforts to strip away rights with abhorrent anti-trans legislation.   On Transgender Day of Visibility, join us for an online conversation about the needs and experiences of transgender youth. Information will be shared and ideas will be suggested for how each of us can take steps to create a more caring and inclusive society.
