This week is MU’s first ever Transgender Awareness Week, a celebration of trans-identity and trans-experience hosted by Triangle Coalition.

To begin, InsideOut, Fluidity and Triangle Coalition will sponsor an event called “The ‘T’ in LGBT” in 208 Strickland Hall at 6 p.m. Monday. The goal of the event is to “discuss what the ‘T’ in LGBT really means,” according to its Facebook Web site.

The event will be a safe space environment where people can share personal stories and ask questions. Representatives from the sponsoring organizations, as well as the Counseling Center, will be available afterward for anyone seeking personal attention.
