CALENDAR
We are smack in the middle of Gender Diversity Awareness Week (Nov. 16-21), a week of
free, inclusive events celebrating the universe’s beautiful spectrum of gender diversity, and
some of the best is yet to come. On Thursday, Nov. 19, LCC hosts a “Trans/Gender Diverse
Panel,” an interactive discussion for the gender diverse, their loved ones and anyone else
who’s interested in learning about journeys of self-discovery. The International Transgender
Day of Remembrance is Friday. Join the international vigil honoring those in the transgender
community we have lost — not many people realize that the transgender community
experiences some of the highest levels of violence, poverty and unemployment. The Eugene
vigil, which features speakers, performances and resources, runs 6:30 to 8:30pm Friday
at the Atrium Building downtown. The weeklong celebration ends with a clothing swap and
dance party with DJ Trainwreck, Saturday at the Wayward Lamb. Eugene's lucky to have two
preeminent trans activists — event organizer Cass Averill (pictured), whose op-ed about
coming out at work was recently featured by The New York Times, and Aydian Dowling, who’s
been everywhere from MTV to The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Dowling recently made the cover of
Men’s Health, spreading a gospel of compassion and equality. Join Cass and Dowling in the
celebration and fi ght to raise awareness of gender diversity.
“Trans/Gender Diverse Panel” goes from 5:30 to 9pm Thursday, Nov. 19, at the LCC
Downtown Campus, room 303. Meet at 6:30pm Friday, Nov. 20, at the Atrium Building,
99 W. 10th Ave, for the International Transgender Day of Remembrance. The clothing
swap (1-4pm) and dance party (5-8pm) Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Wayward Lamb, 150 W.
