Mansfield – Last year “Advocate” magazine named Ohio State University the No. 1 transgender-friendly campus in America.

Last week, Jack Miner, associate registrar and president of the OSU-Columbus Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender SXociety, spoke to OSU-M and North Central State College students about understanding the Transgender community. A large portion of his speech focused on the life of a Transgender on a college campus. A transgender is a person appearing or attempting to be a member of the opposite sex.

“Every month, one to four Ohio State students and alumni become Transgender,” Miner said. “This is something that’s really becoming more common and regardless of your beliefs on the matter, we all need to be educated about the Transgender society.”
