Faculty members complain to their dean that there seems to be a male student using the women’s restroom. A parent calls the Dean of Students, demanding to know why her son was placed in a room with a student whose MySpace.com profile shows the student wearing a dress and using female pronouns. The director of the campus Woman’s Center expresses her concern that it no longer feels like a safe space because transgender women want to attend the women-only support group. The student paper runs an article about a trans student who felt forced to resign from the RA position because of the residence hall policies on restrooms. We can help you navigate situations like these,
while supporting ALL members of the campus community. |

*At least 35% of transgender people have thought seriously about suicide, and about 16%-32% have attempted suicide (Xavier, 2000; Clements, et. al., 1998). *Trans communities experience up to 60% unemployment (Transgender Law Center & S.F. Bay Guardian, 2006). *Among non-trans people, an estimated 7% of men and 22% of women have been raped in their lifetime (MDPH, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, 2003). One study of trans people found that 55% of FtMs and 68% of MtFs had been raped at least once (Clements, et al., 1998). Averaged across gender, this means trans people are four times as likely as non-trans people to experience sexual assault. We can help build a campus environment where all students can succeed.
