This month, the Queer Resource Center, as well as a number of other resource centers and student groups on campus, have been working diligently to bring some of the initiatives of Hampshire County Trans Awareness Month to Amherst College. Through a variety of events, such as film screenings and dialogues, Trans Awareness Month seeks to direct attention to the lived experiences of trans and gender non-conforming people. A comprehensive awareness of marginalization in our community must include an appreciation of their unique experiences.
