Ask a transgender person anything
Jackson Public Library will host a “Ask a transgender person anything” event on Sunday, October 6 at 7:00 p.m. Sponsored by ACLU NH, this is an opportunity to have an open, respectful conversation with your transgender neighbors! This event series began two years ago, and has toured to well over a dozen libraries, schools, and churches across the state, educating the general public about what it means to be a transgender person in New Hampshire. The event will begin with our panelists sharing a little bit about themselves, then the rest of the evening will be a moderated conversation between panelists and audience.
