“Realness needs to be redefined because a lot of it is still conflated with the idea of "passing" rather than just being your authentic self, and I want it to be more about us defining ourselves and staking a claim on our ideas of identity, authenticity and realness.” – Janet Mock

TRANS:THRIVE at Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center, SHINE Study, Trans Employment Program (TEEI) at the SF LGBT Center, the Transgender Law Center, and Center of Excellence for Transgender Health present a special Trans Week of Visibility event “An Evening with Janet Mock: Redefining Realness” on Friday, March 28, 2014 at the SF LGBT Center.

Join Janet Mock in San Francisco as we Kickoff Trans Visibility Week with an evening that redefines realness. The evening begins with a reading by the author, a book signing, and a salon style discussion with the Bay Area trans* communities/ allies. The event will be followed by our annual community celebration of Trans Day of Visibility on Monday, March 31st. Check out our full series of TDOV 2014 events today.

Janet Mock is a New York Times bestselling author and fierce social justice advocate. In 2012, she launched #GirlsLikeUs, a movement that celebrates and raises the visibility of trans women. In February, Mock published her memoir, titled Redefining Realness: My Path to Womanhood, Identity, Love & So Much More. The book addresses her story and the struggles, triumphs and portrayals of trans girls and women.

Want a signed copy of Janet’s book ? Transform SF, San Francisco’s HIV Testing Initiative for the TG Community, will be giving 100 copies of Janet’s book for free during the month of March and at the event for trans folks who will get a rapid HIV test.
