The Southbury Public Library invites interested adults and teens in Grades 6-12 to join us for our Trans 101 Talk with Jillian Celentano on Tuesday, June 21, 2022 from 7-8pm in the Kingsley Room of the Southbury Public Library.
If you have wondered about what it means to be transgender or nonbinary and would like to learn more, join us for this friendly and approachable in person talk with Jillian Celentano. Learn the basics of what transgender and nonbinary mean, what’s up with pronouns, and other language and terminology. She’ll also cover working with parents and families, gender journeys, and body dysphoria. This is an in-person talk open to adults and teens in Grades 6-12 and suitable for both age groups.
