Willy Wilkinson – Navigating The Gender Spectrum

Join us as we explore the breadth of identities associated with trans and gender nonconforming communities, and how to utilize culturally competent language and behavior for addressing and working with this population. We will learn about how we can come together to support this community.

He is the author of the Lambda Literary Award-winning book Born on the Edge of Race and Gender: A Voice for Cultural Competency, which illuminates trans experience from a Chinese American and mixed heritage perspective, and transforms the memoir genre into a cultural competency tool.

He is the recipient of a National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association award, and the Transgender Law Center Vanguard Award, and is recognized on the Trans 100.
