Nonetheless, many people are unaware of the unique issues and struggles that transgender people face in their day-to-day existence. In this Feast of Facts, we hope to give the audience a better understanding of what it means to be transgender, how to be a good ally, and to dispel common misconceptions. Joel Wilson, a transgender man, will talk about his experiences being perceived as both a woman and a man, with a focus on his experiences in STEM fields.
