But out of that 14-year tradition has grown a month-long focus on both remembering the trans community’s dead and celebrating its living. In conjunction with Trans Awareness Month, and anchored by Trans Day of Remembrance, local queer and trans organizations are hosting a wide range of events including a candlelight vigil, workshops, photo and art exhibits, a resource fair and an auction to benefit gendervariant children and teens. The month kicked off with two art exhibits. Transfigurations, which features Jana Marcus’ award-winning documentary photography examining gender identity, opened November 4 at the Smith Center’s White Gallery at Portland State. On November 13, Q Center will hold an opening reception for its November show, Body of Work, curated by Alison Picard (Bloodhound Photography) and featuring local trans and queer artists exploring gender identity. Both shows run all month. Before the night’s opening for Body of Work, Q Center will host the annual Communi-T: Trans Resource Fair, a one-stop resource shop for community members and service providers that includes workshops and a raffle. “Communi-T is one of the most important programs we have here at Q Center,” says Logan Lynn, the center’s pub<strong>lic</strong> relations manager. “The resource fair trains providers about the trans community’s needs and then connects the two so they can be met. Aside from the practical stuff, it’s also just a really fun event.” The fair got its start in 2009 when organizers saw a need for trans folks to connect with health care providers in a free, nonclinical setting. “Finding a therapist or doctor is more dif- By Erin rook “it is not enough to create access to resources but also to ensure that those resource providers are culturally competent of the transgender community.” —chloe florA, organizEr, communi-T rEsourcE fair www.justout.com ficult for trans folk looking for someone culturally competent. Additionally a clinical setting can be incredibly intimidating when trying to self-advocate for care,” fair coordinator Chloe Flora says. “This is important because barriers to health care are one of the largest issues in the trans community.” This year’s workshops will include a threehour self-defense training with the Tulen One With Heart Center and address medical issues in early and mid/late transition, mental health and coping, and spirituality. But it’s not just members of the trans community who will be getting an education. Flora chris rEnTzEl says the event is increasingly focused on providing instruction for service providers as well. “It is not enough to create access to resources but also to ensure that those resource providers are culturally competent of the transgender community,” Flora says. Among the service providers in attendance at the 2011 fair will be Dr. Tony Mangubat, a Seattle surgeon specializing in top surgery for trans men, and Lake Oswego plastic surgeon Dr. Tuan Nguyen. The following weekend, PSU’s Queer Resource Center will offer its own batch of workshops commemorating Trans Awareness Month and leading up to TDoR. Planned topics include writing trans narratives, student health care and sex/body positivity. On Saturday evening, November 19, the QRC hosts a reading from Trans/Love, a new anthology of trans writers including local contributors, edited by Morty Diamond. Come late Sunday afternoon, community members will gather at PSU for a procession and candlelight vigil remembering the victims of transphobic violence, ending at Pioneer Courthouse Square. Emi Koyama, director of Intersex Initiative and social justice activist, will provide opening remarks. After Trans Awareness Month has technically ended, TransActive Education and Advocacy will bring it back to the future Decmeber 4 with its annual silent auction supporting the organization’s work with

The Superheroes for Superkids event may have had humble beginnings—hosted in a small Aloha coffee shop and netting $1,000—but the fourth annual benefit promises to be TransActive’s biggest yet. In addition to securing a larger venue and major sponsors such as OHSU, TransActive also netted a dynamic keynote speaker in People.com editor Janet Mock. Mock made the media rounds after her “It Gets Better” video, which drew from her life and transition experiences as a teenager, went viral. TransActive executive director Jenn Burleton contacted Mock to thank her for the video, and Mock expressed her desire to get involved with the organization. “Much to my joy and surprise, she immediately responded and shared with me that trans she did that video precisely because [she] wanted to connect more with trans children and youth,” Burleton says. “She has an incredibly compelling story to tell... We’re so honored to have her at our event this year.” The auction, which includes a wide range of items from vacation getaways to body art to furniture, will raise funds for the nation’s only organization providing counseling, case management (including medical), advocacy, education, legal referrals and research specifically to families of transgender and gender non-conforming youth. Burleton says that the organization’s work effects more than just the children and families it directly serves. “Most of the recent cases of youth suicides are primarily the result of bullying over gender expression rather than being directly related to sexual orientation,” Burleton says. “It’s important that, culturally, we recognize that the difficulties that many transgender children and youth face are a warning and reminder of the harmful experiences that non-transgender but gender non-conforming children, youth and adults face every day.” aT a glancE Trans awareness month Events Transf igurations Photo Exhibit Through Dec. 8, PSU Smith Center White Gallery, 1825 SW Broadway, pdx.edu/qrc.
