dc.description.abstractThis research provides first-hand evidence that many gender-variant individuals have unmet basic needs, that they suffer from discrimination and violence, and that education about transgender issues is needed to remove barriers to understanding for transgendered individuals. This Master of Arts project consists of a website which will provide access to a reproducible copy of a theater piece entitled Transfigurations and supportive materials for post-reading educational talkback sessions. Access to the website will be offered to local chapters of Parents, Families & Friends of Lesbians & Gays (PFLAG) and other interested groups and individuals. Transfigurations (1998, Roaring Springs & Ferguson) is a dramatic theater piece about the lives of transgendered individuals designed to have a positive affect on the attitudes of audience members toward transgender issues. Using primary and secondary sources, a user-friendly discussion group curriculum was created to accompany the play, so that community groups wishing to educate themselves about the lives of transgendered people can perform the play and hold an informative discussion session afterward. It is hoped that the use of theater coupled with discussion will provide some understanding about transgender issues in communities where resources and information about gender-variance are limited.en
