>>^^^3/5 Workshop: “Trans-What: Beginning to understand the Transgender
>>experience”^^^
>>The word "transgendered" is an umbrella term used to describe all people who
>>do not fit neatly into the bi-polar, socially constructed categories of sex
>>and gender. Our dominant culture only recognizes two sexes: male and
female,
>>and two gender expressions: masculine and feminine. We are told early on
>>that our gender expression will "naturally" correspond to our physical
sex at
>>birth. For many people, this construction and this language, "man" or
>>"woman," "boy" or "girl," are simply not big enough. Transgender identity
has
>>been known and recorded throughout history across lines of culture, class,
>>age, ability, faith and sexual orientation. This program deals with
>>demystifying and celebrating the transgendered experience. Facilitated by
>>Samuel Lurie. Sponsored by Outright Vermont. All ages are invited to
>>attend. Fletcher Room, Fletcher Free Library, 235 College Street,
>>Burlington. 2:30 - 4:30PM.
