Crook County School Board Meetings are becoming quite heated by a few loud voices who want to erase LGBTQ+ curriculum. Join us as we strategize talking points and signing people up to speak at EVERY board meeting.  If you can't speak, it does help to have bodies in chairs supporting others who can.  Please plan on attending, this is SO important for our community and for our LGBTQ+ kids in Crook County Schools.

Speaker:  Anne Graham, local author of the book Tall Annie:  Life in two Genders

As a young man, Anne Graham became a Vietnam Veteran while serving in the U. S. Navy on a nuclear submarine. She opens with an incredible true story of her submarine’s rescue of a downed aircrew in the middle of a typhoon.
This is a story of how a transgender person came to be that way, and how they dealt with it while remaining a very productive and accepted member of society. Anne lays out her life from her formative years, through her time as a loving father and husband, and finally to the person she is now, a devoted and loving wife.
She deals with the formation of her sex and gender identities including no holds barred details of her transition from life as a man to life as a woman. Her story is that of a wrenching mid-life realization that forced her to deal with lifelong issues. Her insights into understanding her gender are gripping, embarrassing, humorous, and are fascinating reading.
