Cowichan Valley Gender Identity and Expression Day

Somenos Room, LGBTQ2, family friendly, inclusive, information session. Supported by the Warmland Women’s Support Services and sponsored by Visibly Transgender, the first open and public group for transgender people on Facebook.

Hosted by Cowichan Valley resident Willa Atkinson, father, wife, she/her, began medically and socially gender transitioning at age 37.

“I sat though the entire Jenn Smith Info-session and struggled to keep quiet. I spoke up on three occasions and was warned a fourth time that I would be removed on the next interruption. I want my venue to free speech, we also have the freedom of expression and we have the freedom of choice, so you come down to the Island Savings Centre Tuesday Night, so we can show our true colours”
