5th Annual Texas Transgender Nondiscrimination Summit

Another exciting day at University of Houston!  Today begins the Transgender Nondiscrimination Summit.  We have guest speakers talking about earning an a in transgender inclusion on college campuses, transgender legal issues, contemporary transgender history, national transgender discrimination survey data, and great networking opportunities.

One of the transwomen hosting the event is a Houston city council woman and many of the people here are employees of universities.

I learned that my alma mater, Rice University, was the first school in Texas to implement a gender and sexuality nondiscrimination policy.

Next, Dr. Kristen Benson from North Dakota State University will be speaking about inclusion of the transgender community on college campuses.
