Why a transgender conference in Milwaukee , of all places?
One of the wonders of a conference is that it gives out-of-towners a chance to explore a new place while simultaneously giving local residents the opportunity to meet and learn from people they’d never otherwise see. If all you can think of when you hear ” Milwaukee ” is beer, motorcycles, and/or cows, are you in for a surprise! You will find plenty of beer and motorcycles here (the cows are generally outside the city limits), but you will also find much, much more.
