Transgender activists Barbara “Babs” Casbar and Terry McCorkell spoke to a crowd of about 30 College students Thursday night in Forcina Hall to address the historical, political and social issues of transgender advocacy. They also shared their own gender identity experiences: the two former men now each lead the life of a woman.

“This room is a pronoun-free zone,” McCorkell declared.

The lecture was presented by PRISM, the College’s organization supporting the equality of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people.
