Trans at Oberlin Wordpress

Trans at Oberlin Wordpress
This site was created in 2014 and provides resources to trans Oberlin students. The founders describe the site as follows:
"This website was founded by Alex Bernui (OC ’17) and Augie Blackman (OC ’18) as a Winter Term project sponsored by Dean Eric Estes in January 2014, and continued as a private reading with Meredith Raimondo. Inspiration came from the Trans at Oberlin Oberwiki page, which provided resources for trans students. We wanted to expand, update, and publicize this resource in order to address the diverse needs of the Oberlin student body."
