November 2010Transgender Awareness Month A month-long series of activities led by

TransAction  that aim to celebrate and raise awareness of the transgender community in Utah.

One of the main aspects for the month is to increase understanding of transgender people who are often misrepresented.

Transgender is a term used to describe a broad spectrum of people who experience or express their gender differently from what most people expect. Transgender Awareness Month events are a place for everyone to meet each other and celebrate our diversity.
