For our second event for Trans Week, the Office of Equity and Inclusion has agreed to teach Haven what it's like for trans people to live their day to day lives, having to deal with people and having to cope with problems we would never imagine as being problematic. Learn ways in which the University of Delaware has done well concerning the trans community, and ways in which UD still has a lot of work to do.

Haven's Trans Awareness Discussion

Wednesday,
November 17 @ 7:00 pm
Memorial Hall, Room 123
Newark, DE

Haven's Trans Awareness Event


Haven is bringing Donna Rose, a lovely, post-op transsexual woman to talk about transgender issues and her personal experiences in her transformation from masculine man to feminine woman. She has had an incredible journey, and wants to share her experiences and discoveries with the world.

It is difficult for people to understand just how profoundly gender affects our culture until you hear from someone who has not only tried to cross the gender divide, but has done so successfully.

We hope to see you there!
