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.
