**location update**
Hello! The 5:00 Trans Healthcare and Politics panel has been moved to Dana Auditorium (not Wilson Cafe). Our panelists include topic-expert professors, medical professionals, and trans students. Feel free to prepare questions for the audience Q&A; we want this event to meet the needs of our community with nuance and respect.

The 4:30 dance party is still on for outside McCullough, bring your silly outfits and rockin' dance moves. We're turning pain and pseudoscience into an opportunity for joyful community connection and education! We will quite literally dance over to the student-organized forum.

Moving to Dana Auditorium ensures the many community members planning to attend will all have a good seat, close parking, and makes this student-planned event logistically possible for college event staff. We're looking forward to Thursday! Thank you again for all the support.

As a highly respected academic institution, Middlebury College's decision to platform pseudoscience is counter to its educational mission and the well-being of students. Trans students and the communities that support us are organizing an alternative forum with the accurate and nuanced scholarship that our communities deserve. This expert panel will be an opportunity for students and community members alike to better understand both this political moment in trans healthcare and the science supporting our continued access to care. To begin this meeting, we will start with a Big Trans Dance Party outside the McCullough Student Center to joyfully celebrate transness. We will then transition to Dana Auditorium for an educational and deeply respectful dialogue. All welcome!

Join us!
