From definitions to dating and back again

Transgender is a word that everyone has heard, but the actual definition may be confusing to some.

A retired librarian, grandmother and transgender woman is on a mission to educate the country on everything from the definition of transgender to the hardships of the dating world.

Safe Zone invited Debra Davis to speak on campus Thursday. She was sponsored by the Diversity Council, YMCA NDSU and the 10 Percent Society.

Davis is a retired librarian and transgender woman traveling the country to speak about her life and educate people on the transgender community.

? I am a grandma, a parent, a neighbor, a friend; there are a lot of things that I am,? Davis said. ?And I also happen to be transgender.?
