Be Aware! Be Very Aware!

Also from my alma mater.... it's Transgender Awareness Week... Ash Egloff writes in the Denisonian:
Transgender Awareness Week is important for a number of reasons, both to me personally and a number of other communities.  Trans people so often go ignored in media and even conversations about LGBTQ+ subjects, and I think it’s a big step in the right direction to have a week dedicated to calling attention to transgender people and issues in order to show solidarity with them.  I want other trans people on campus to be able to feel validated and know that there are people at Denison who value and support them. 
Go ignored? Really, Ash? Really?


I guess news travels slowly to the heartland.

UPDATE: On the bright side, not every student on campus is buying into the "trigger warning" craze. Congratulations Rhayna on a fine bit of thinking and writing.
