“Ask a Trans” Townhall comes to church
Jenna Daugherty, a lifelong Fremont resident and passionate trans advocate, has worked hard to increase the understanding and appreciation of the humanity in all people, especially those on the gender identity spectrum. Her advocacy is the primary focus of the “Ask a Trans Townhall” on Saturday, January 10, at 6:00 p.m., in the sanctuary of Niles Discovery Church.
Homeschooled by fundamentalist Christians, Jenna left that religion behind while holding onto the proactive activism that her parents modeled for her. She applies this activism to her secular advocacy. Her knowledge of the Christian culture is also why she tries to humanize trans and nonbinary people within the Christian community. She hopes her efforts will help everyone gain a better understanding of the struggles faced by trans people. This is why she is holding the Townhall and hopes you will come with your questions.
The Townhall will begin with a brief presentation on Trans history and Jenna's Trans life experiences. The remaining time of the Townhall will be devoted to answering the questions that audience members bring. Jenna is presenting this “Ask A Trans Townhall,” because she thinks most people aren’t vicious bullies obsessed with harming trans people. She feels that when people get to know a trans person, the world becomes a more accepting place.
While the survival of her people continues to be her number one focus, Jenna realizes that long-term safety won’t come until the rights of all Americans are secured. She believes that aggressive but open-minded populism is what helps bridge the divide caused by our divisive partisan culture. She believes in the good of humanity and hopes to be one of the voices that can make Americans see how we have much more in common than what divides us. Please join the conversation.
