For many University students, choosing which bathroom to use or which gender box to check on a form isn’t a big deal.
But for transgender students on campus, these situations can be uncomfortable or even unsafe.
That’s why the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Ally Services Office, the Queer Student Cultural Center, and students and members of the community teamed up to create the Transgender Commission, a new effort to help deal with some of the challenges faced by transgender students on campus.
Rusty Barcel?, University vice president and vice provost for equity and diversity, will speak at an open house today to introduce the commission to the campus.
