TransAction! - Friday, February 27, 2009

GLSEN is proud to sponsor a new national day of action: TransAction! This is a day for education and celebration of transgender and gender non-conforming people and experiences, and to advocate for inclusive schools for all regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.

TransAction! encourages students to organize a workshop, panel discussion, or similar forum about gender, gender roles and the full range of gender identities.

Check back for our more resources including a list of key terms and links to other organizations doing amazing work for the rights of transgender and gender non-conforming people.

You are encouraged to incorporate one or more of the following aspects in your action:

Educate:

Reach out to organizations/community leaders who can help you organize a forum or a workshop.

Facilitate a workshop on gender identity and the transgender experience.

Get familiar with key terms about gender.

Create Awareness:

In addition to highlighting various aspects of gender and transgender experiences make sure that you celebrate the contributions transgender people have made in social justice movements.
