Fort Collins, Colorado Volume 119 | No. 72 Friday, November 19, 2010 COLLEGIAN www.collegian.com THE STUDENT VOICE OF COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY SINCE 1891 The lives of a Ludacris in lights community in transition By Alexandra Sieh The Rocky Mountain Collegian

As he looked into the faces of those around him one year ago, Mac Simon said he couldn’t help but see the truth of his identity in those faces at the annual Transgender Day of Remembrance. Always aware of his transgender identity but still hesitant to admit it, Simon went to the event with friends he had made in his time as an intern at the Lambda Center, Fort Collins’ GLBTIQQA community center, still gender questioning. But as he looked around, it became clear. “I felt like there was a mirror being held up to me, like I was seeing my reflection in a lot of people in that room,” he said, and with that truth, he left intimidated by what he had discovered. “It took me a few months after that to get the balls to come out,” he said, to admit to himself and others that he was a transman. But since he made that choice, he has been “out and proud,” working each day to share awareness and understanding about what it really means to be trans.

Eliminating acts of bullying By Alexandra Sieh The Rocky Mountain Collegian
