More than 800 people attended the 2011 Southern Comfort Conference, held Sept. 22-25, including a record attendance of more than 400 first-timers. SCC, the largest transgender conference in the nation, marked its 21st birthday this year with a "Comes of Age" theme and held a formal dinner to celebrate. Educational workshops and seminars are also part of the annual confab. This year, SCC also partnered with the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) and the Gay & Lesbian Medical Association for an all-day symposium on Sept. 25.
