Methods

TAP was coordinated and implemented by two students at the University of Minnesota through a collaboration with members and staff of the Trans Advisory & Action Team (formerly the Transgender Commission), Gender and Sexuality Center for Queer and Trans Life (formerly the GLBTA Programs Office), University of Minnesota Libraries, and the Queer Student Cultural Center.

TAP portrays the images and quotes of five trans identifying persons from both the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and the broader Twin Cities community. In March 2013, these posters were displayed throughout the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Campus in strategic locations including the Libraries, Student Unions, Boynton Health Services, the Gender and Sexuality Center for Queer and Trans Life student art gallery, and other offices throughout the University. Additionally, nine thousand business cards linking to the campaign website were distributed on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities’ campuses during the first week of the campaign.

Inspiration

TAP was originally inspired by the Washington DC Transgender and Gender Identity Respect Campaign and a dire need for positive images of trans identities and communities.
