Girl power at CSU San Marcos

Our female-bodied, female-identified members represented yesterday! The Youth Center was closed yesterday for a special field trip to Cal State University, San Marcos, where we attended a screening of "Two Spirits," a documentary about two-spirit identity that chronicles the life and murder of Navajo two-spirit Fred "F.C." Martinez. "Two Spirits" will be airing on PBS in June. The film was followed by a two-spirit panel discussion, which included our very own Youth & Family Services Coordinator Christopher Scott. Among the topics discussed were personal experiences of two-spirit people, the difference between gender and sexuality, the importance of self-identification and the politics of terminology. The event was presented by the University Student Union Advisory Board, Women's Studies, and the Women's Center. Check out more pictures in the 2011 CSUSM Two Spirit album here.
