A Celebration of Gender Diversity

Welcome to the Fifteenth Annual Keystone Conference, "A Celebration of Gender Diversity," hosted by TransCentralPA in Pennsylvania's capital city of Harrisburg! You are in store for an informative, inspirational and joyous time among members and supporters of the Transgender community at our new location, the splendid Harrisburg Hilton Hotel.

As the keystone bridges and holds together associated entities, trans-identifying and non-binary people do the same, and the Keystone Conference is a celebration of the unique diversity of gender and our central and unifying place in society. Pennsylvania is known as the Keystone State because of its significance in unifying the early colonies, and it is quite relevant that we hold this conference here in the state's capital, ideally located within an easy drive from six major east coast cities.

Announcing our Saturday Gala Guest Speaker

Keystone welcomes Wayne Maines as our Saturday Gala Speaker! Dr. Wayne M. Maines is the proud father of identical twins, Jonas Maines and Nicole Maines. Wayne and his wife Kelly worked extremely hard to raise their children in an environment that was not and is still not ready for the new generation of transgender and gender expansive children.

Wayne had a dream to take fathers of transgender children fishing. It was a chance to get away, to meet other dads who were struggling to keep their children safe, happy, and supported at home and at school. So Wayne and other supportive fathers started an organization called The Dads Foundation. And when award winning director/producer Luchina Fisher heard about this dream, she wanted in. The end result is a Daytime Emmy award winning eleven-minute film of dads fishing for trout in Oklahoma.
