Transgender 101 at Milford Public Library

You’ve probably been hearing the word “transgender” recently. Do you really know what it means? Here’s your chance to learn.

Join Jill Celentano for a comfortable and informal presentation to learn what it means to be transgender. This presentation will take place at Milford Public Library, 57 New Haven Ave. on February 23 at 11 am. In case of bad weather, the presentation will be held on March 2 at 11am. Jill will discuss the coming out process, the transition process, the acceptance process, plus right and wrong questions to ask other transgender people.

Jillian is a 58 year old transgender woman who transitioned 3 years ago. She is an advocate for the transgender community, speaks at various venues across New England, including support groups, medical centers and hospitals. She is a GSA instructor at a high school in New Haven, has organized a support group for transgender youth, and is a member of Stonewall Speakers. Jill has returned to college and is studying                 psychology at the Master degree level. Her goal is to counsel primarily trans youth and adults. She is currently interning at the Yale Gender Program in New Haven.
