July 2026Ask a Transgender Person Anything!
Downtown Branch - Snell Auditorium
- You probably have a lot of unanswered questions about trans people and issues.
-
Maybe you’re worried about what’s being taught in the classroom, or about what healthcare services are being offered to trans youth.
- You’ve heard terms like “parental rights” thrown around. You haven’t felt able to ask your questions and get answers that make sense to you.
-
We get it, we understand. But what’s the other side of the story?
Join us for an event filled with candid conversation. Hear from Victoria as they make the case for trans rights, and then dive into an interactive Question and Answer period where nothing* is off limits.
*Okay, there are exceptions – threats and personal attacks aren’t welcome.
