Hi y'all!
We at TransHearts are co-hosting a open forum event alongside Gatlyn Dame Group, and TransCollective937 on Saturday November 7th called "Let's Gather, Let's Listen, Let's Do Better".
This event came out of one of our TransHearts: Dayton support group meetings a few months back, where when focusing on the experience of Trans Masculine individuals, attendees shared frustrations and how they feel invisible or their voices aren't being heard by the greater trans community, and local events feeling them left out by language and verbiage. At the end of the meeting an attendee asked if we'd commit to hosting an open forum event for not just Trans Masculine but ALL underrepresented voices in the Trans community, and after a lot of work and planning this is that event!
This event is hosted at Dayton Metro Library - Main in The Center for Community Impact & Innovation from 12-2pm. This event is FREE to attend, but requires RSVP via eventbrite. There are (limited) in person tickets, and virtual (Zoom) tickets. During the event anyone who wants to speak verbally on the mic to give their actionable and constructive feedback can do so, but for those not comfortable speaking verbally or for those attending digitally, they can give their feedback via the Vevox app during the event!
There will also be a free lunch provided by PFLAG Dayton with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options (you select this when you sign up for tickets!) RSVP here!
