DSAGA hosts screening of Laverne Cox’s The T Word
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “sga”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers DSAGA’s screening of *The T Word* and its discussion with two people featured in the film.
- The paper reported that DSAGA held the Nov. 20 screening for Transgender Day of Remembrance and then hosted a question-and-answer session with Shane Henise and Jess Liberatore.
- The article says the film follows seven transgender people aged 12 to 24 as they face challenges involving support, acceptance, dating and violence.
- According to the article, Henise said Towson’s administration and policies had supported him, including after an SGA senator backed his petition and the SGA voted in favor of changing names and genders.
- The reporter writes that DSAGA’s director of administration, Tanner Liechty, said the group chose the event because it had connections with Henise and wanted a “well-rounded event.”
