The last few years have seen increasing public awareness about transgender people, including the inclusion of transgender characters in television and movie roles and with well-known figures from popular culture coming out as transgender, most notably Caitlyn Jenner.
The George Washington University (GWU) will hold its annual LGBT Health Forum, which will focus this year on the transgender community. The Forum will be held at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
