The Gay Straight Alliance at Lansing Community College will be showing clips of television shows and movies that have transgender characters. A discussion will later be had on the issue.
The event, held 4-6 p.m. April 6, is part of the first ever International Transgender Day of Visibility, which will be celebrated March 31. The event at LCC will be held at Student Personal Services at 425 N. Washington Square in Lansing.
Gender expression and gender identity have been played out in the media, and this event aims to show how Hollywood perceives transgender people in TV shows and movies.
Afterward, attendees can get to know the reality of being transgender through a panel discussion.
