One of the events I've had the pleasure of taking part in since I've come back home is the Texas Transgender Non-Discrimination Summit. So what's the purpose of the TTNS? Glad you asked.
Basically it's a strategy sharing event in which we spend two days discussing how we get inclusive transgender rights ensconced in the policies of Texas colleges and universities and other learning institutions.
We talk about what works and what doesn't work in terms of creating effective changes to policy on those campuses to protect transgender faculty, staff, students,and allies. .

You get the benefits of making connections with people across the state who are already doing this important work and learning fromtheir successes and experiences, gaininsights and create a supportive network of like-minded individuals andinstitutions.
So where and when will it be held in 2012? The dates for the 4th annual TTNS will be July 20-21 and it will be held on the campus of the University of Houston-Clear Lake.
