Open to the public, this event hopes to reach out the University of Vermont and Burlington communities and educate us all further about transgender issues. With multiple panels to choose from at any time, some panels will be directed towards trans people and others will be for those who are fairly unfamiliar with the transgender movement and the topic of gender identity. This conference allows us to  translate gender identity to both the queer community and its allies.  Past Events February 2005 Twister and Lube Date: February 7, 2005 Time: 8pm Place: Free To Be Office Details: Slippery fun was had by all!  Turn out was spectacular.  We covered the boards with the best lube around and played game after game of Twister.  The tangled fun was ended by awarding the winner two Twister coffee mugs.
