We will have the largest and most diverse spirituality track event at the 2012 Philadelphia Trans-Health Conference. We kick it all off with a Wednesday (May 30, 2012; 2pm-9pm) meet-and-greet style pre-event, called the TransFaith Caucuses.
Don't forget to review the full spirituality schedule. For your convenience, we've also pulled shorter lists by faith tradition.
Why at PTHC 2011? There are few places in the world where people of faith can gather to learn about transgender communities in all of our diversity -- not simply to hear about diversity from one or a few presenters, but to walk among transgender people from a variety of races and life experiences. PTHC hosts gender non-conforming children with their familes, youth and young adults, as well as older trans men, trans women, and genderqueer community members. Presenters include national transgender leaders and grassroots organizers, as well as medical and mental health providers. By working within and around the largest, transgender-specific conference in the world, we are able to expose participants to leading experts from a variety of disciplines who can help conference participants to contextualize the role of faith and spirituality in the life of the transgender community.
