How could I have missed a headline with fake cocks in it? Well, thanks to Life on Brian’s Beat, I’m not as late as I could be on picking this up.

It’s time to understand, accept and celebrate our local trans community, and to do so you’re invited to an all-day enlightening session this Saturday, April 30, to witness some of the eye-popping challenges and realities of those who have chosen to live in a gender they were not born into.

The second annual Trans Day of Pride promises to be a bigger than its inaugural year, according to organizer Daniel Chégnier, but the aim remains the same. “The idea is to sensitize people about the community and bring mainstream people closer to the realities of the trans community. We also want to show other trans that they’re not alone. It’s a minority community and there are some people who are more solitary – they don’t all live in the gay community. We want to show that they’re not alone in the world. We want to demystify transsexuality and discuss people’s experiences, from workplace issues and beyond.”
