Create Your Own TransFigures Poster Project

We encourage you to also create your own poster series, especially if you do not wish to wait for new posters or if you wish to feature local individuals. If you do so, we ask you credit your own campus explicitly as the creator, so that no questions arise regarding UCR holding the photo release for any posters we did not create. Please include this statement (small print at the bottom is okay) on the poster:

"This poster, created by _______________, was inspired by the TransFigures Poster Project launched in 2012 by UC Riverside (www.out.ucr.edu)."

Trans*

Trans* in this context refers to many diverse gender identities and gender expressions that might include (but are not limited to) transgender, genderqueer, genderfluid, non-binary, genderf*ck, transsexual, agender, third gender, two-spirit, bigender, transman, transwoman, gender nonconforming, masculine of center, and gender questioning.
