Trans Monologues & Gender Spectrum Open Mic
WHAT TO DO: Beyond the binary
Come listen to the voices of Madison's transgender and gender-variant community, who will share experiences navigating society's rigid gender norms as they intersect with other identities such as race, class, age and disability. After the event, the Mad City Sisters will host a Transgender Day of Remembrance vigil honoring trans and gender-nonconforming people who have lost their lives to transphobia.
