March 31st is Transgender Day of Visibility!
In honor of TDOV, we are starting an online awareness campaign to celebrate transgender people.
We will send out one all-campus email every day for a week. We encourage you to join in on social media with #TDOV and #MoreThanVisibility! The Facebook
event can be found HERE and we would love it if you could share the posts to get the word out there!
DAY 5:
PEOPLE - MAX WOLF VALERIO
Max
Wolf Valerio, author of the riveting The Testosterone
Files, the 2006 memoir of his transition from female to male, may just
be the only man who also had an essay in the groundbreaking 1981 feminist classic This Bridge Called My Back. Valerio's work has appeared in a number of anthologies, and he's been featured in a number of documentary films including
Gendernauts.
Still a poet and author (one of his more recent works is in Trans/Love:
Radical Sex, Love & Relationships Beyond the Gender Binary), Valerio is
half American Indian from the Blackfoot tribe (his mother is from the Kainai (or Blood) Reserve in southern Alberta, Canada.
The 2016 theme is More Than Visibility: "This recognizes that while visibility is important, we must take direct action against
transphobia around the world. Visibility is not enough alone to bring transgender liberation. Some people experience violence due to their visibility and some
others don’t want to be visible. However, we can use visibility as a vital tool for transgender justice.”
